I still feel all kinds of wrong claiming it all though.

Why? Can't remember what it is you claim, but you are entitled to it. Ignore the haters (yes rich of me to say that because I can't even take a joke at work) and carry on. Trust me, if they were in your shoes they would soon change their tune.

In my mind, it should not have to be a "claim" but an automatic payment of financial aid for those who need it. But I understand what you mean, there is a stigma attached to Benefits that opens you to critisism by some. Been there, suffered that.

A DWP brown envelope arrived for our daughter this morning and my heart skipped a beat. But it was not her DLA-to-PIP letter, just notification of her £10 Xmas Bonus.

Excellent. Yes it's inevitably worrying but we tend to hear plenty about the awful horror stories and not so much about those when the system works fairly well. Osem Jnr # 2 didn't need a PIP assessment and I can't believe you will.

Yes, brown envelopes have that effect on me too...

For us the PIP process was far easier than the DLA and the outcome much better FWIW. Good luck Taf.

Some time ago you said that you were going to "claim everything that you could get"; I hope all the negative propoganda from David Cameron et al hasn't got to you

There is nothing wrong with those entitled to help claiming what's due to them, don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

I think Dilli is simply acknowledging that hard working tax payers are paying for this, Richard.

Most of us are happy for the genuinely deserving to receive these benefits. It's the scroungers that cause such rage in the population.

Dilli has shown that she is conscious of this, and that being the case, I have no concerns with a proportion of my money going to her.

Dilli , l and others never chose to have serious ill health but as we know life does not go in smooth lines at the best of times OB so one is happy that one gets help to help with the extra costs caused by long term ill-health or disability.
