DLA Tax credits help
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have Fibro although havnt been formally diagnosed. I go to physio and take painkillers although some days I just live on the sofa to tired, weak and sore to move! I don't want to give up work (I'm self employed) but I do want to cut my hours. I'm supposed to be working 30 plus for tax credits but find this impossible! After a call to them I was told I need to be receiving dla to reduce my work hours!? Surely not? Does anyone know if this is true? x

Without a formal diagnosis my thinking is you might struggle. The joys of having a piece of paper on it with a medical title. If you were to try the PIP system I expect you would also need that lovely piece of paper with a diagnosis on it.
My advice would be to do your ESA research first then go see a Citizens Advice bureau. Good Luck

If you look into it and need a 'label' and explain the reason why to your doctor, I am sure that he/she will understand and work towards a definate confirmation. Good Luck x
