Hey guys. As I posted a couple of weeks ago I have been placed in the ESA Support Group.
I currently get DLA HRM. Today my social worker came over and she advised me to get in touch with the DLA folks and apply for a care component.
I have major spine trouble, bad balance and persistent dizziness so I think I would qualify for LRC because I can't prepare a meal and have to buy ready meals? I also have several gadgets and adaptions around the house to aid bathing and getting dressed, etc.
If I did apply for a Care component; would my Mobility award be at risk? I'm assuming as I'm in the ESA Support Group because of my lack of mobility and my inability to use a self propel wheelchair due to neck tumours affecting the arms, I wouldn't be at much risk?
I just don't want any headaches.
Cheers for the advise guys.
Is it worth a go?
