Particularly useful if you want to explore disability issues. All people with physical and mental disadvantages are going face financial squeezes by 2013. April, to be exact. It promises to be interesting. I was going to say that had already started for people on employment service allowance, ESA, the old incapacity benefit, when I heard of a friend with top Rate DLA care, and top Rate Mobility - which takes some getting, losing the lot.

Disability allowance is not means tested - you can work full time and have it.

Because she doesn't fill the new criteria, she's lost it. People on disability forums keep falling out with me about this - but the new call-in under the coalition are not administered by medically qualified personal. As their finding out.

I'm tired. I'll provide a link later. Bless you. Feel free to remind me...
