From people I have spoken to at DWP/DCS, and support organisations, people don't get DLA because they have a disability, DLA is given depending on the impact of the disability - how much help is needed.

very true but thats not what the forms tell them asking if they cope isnt the same as seeing how much pain and or medication they need that isnt normal

when asked if i had a good day in no way equates to a well persons good day

the forms are designed to make people think that they should put down the best they can do and not the norm of what they can do
