    Jane Ill repeat my advice because it works - look at benefits and work web site it may cost a bit to "join up" but it iswell worth the spend and their advice is invaluable. 

    I got a DLA  refusal to start but after their help I got high mobility and middle care allowance.

    The biggest problem is phsological in that you need to fill forms in as how it affects you and you alone not you with help from partner strange but it works.

    All the best
