That is disgraceful, sorry if this appears to be a silly question but if someone was on the old benefit and was awarded it indefinitely, why not just switch them over to the new benefit if their illness has not changed any that to me would make sense, I can understand people need to make a fresh claim when there award period runs out but life awarded or awarded it indefinitely or what ever it is means to me there is little chance of the illness getting better or why be awarded that in the first place or have I got that wrong, but reading this thread I hope I never have to claim as it seems a nightmare, and TBH before I joined cable forum in December I was under the impression it was easy to stay on once awarded how wrong was I.
