dla review

Hi everyone, i am new to this site but often read many articles,i have been a carer for my wife since 1997 my wife was damaged by a rubella injection after the birth of my youngest daughter who is now 17 years old.

My wife was diagnosed way back the with severe me/cfs,benign intracranial hypertension and vasomotor failure and other symptoms etc my wife was awarded hrm plus hrc for life i had worked since the age of 14 it was an easy decision to make having seen my wife health deteriorate so quickly.

After that i gave up work to look after her and our four children and become her fulltime carer.We have not heard a single thing from dwp other than the money each year going up then in june
this year a letter saying that a review on her award and enclosed was a new dla pack to fill in.

I rang warbeck house to ask why this was happing only to be advised that she was picked at random and this was happing to a lot of people who had life awards she was just unfortunate.

I then filled pack in and added the extra illness my wife now suffers from arthritis-irritable bowel syndrome- myalgia and now deppresion and also that in last year undergoing tests for multiple sclerosis,i sent pack back to them by required date.

3 weeks ago i rang them to say gail had had confirmation that she has ms gave dr address in hospital and telephone number etc and they said it would be noted on her file as no decision had been made yet anyway,and of course last week letter from dwp wanting more information so arranging a health care professional to see her 2 days after letter from atos saying somebody would get in touch day later appointment for this thursday any advice please thanks.

Moderators Note by Jim Allison I have had to edit your post as it was all in UPPERCASE, with no paragraphs.

If you are a new member, please note that using UPPERCASE is hard to read online, especially if it isn't broken down in paragraphs making it difficult for moderators to read and for visually impaired members who use screen readers

Thank you so much have downloaded them so will read many thanks again

Hi Pt,

If your wife is confined to bed on the day, then the ATOS EMP will have to conduct the medical assessment in her bedroom.
