Life long DLA claiments

Hello all.
What i wanted to say is that i had to fight for my DLA for a year and a half before going to court in the end to get it awarded to me for life.
I have Lupus/Discoid lupus/osteoparosis/arthritis/deppression, thats a few of them! and am taking a mountain of tablets everyday, i have to take morphine everyday just so i can walk a little bit.
I just really really cannot understand how atos or anyone else for that matter can over rule paperwork from the courts and stamped by them saying i have this for life!
I didn't think that anyone could over rule a courts decision?? and if this is true, i think that law is all wrong!
I have had full benefit of DLA for 7 years now, i live with my husband and we have a carer 7 days a week for me and my husband, this we have payments from Adult social services, and yes i count myself very very lucky to have this, because with out it we would both be in big trouble.
What is this now, one rule for one, and one rule for the other?
I haven't as yet been 'invited to claim PLP' but was thinking of taking my case to a newspaper and giving them the story and see what happens with that?
It maybe a good idea i really don't know, (I don't know what to do for the best really) the one thing i do know is my day will come....to re claim
My husband also gets DLA but was re assessed and has his for the normal 2 years, having to re claim again next year.
So does anyone have any advise of what i should do? anything will help at the moment, as I'm worried sick and have not been asked to claim yet!
If you do reply thanks very much to you all.
Kepp well and thank you so much.
