Government plans to radically overhaul Disability Living Allowance and replace it with a new payment, Personal Independence Payment, got the go-ahead last week. The changes will see people who were previously entitled to Disability Living Allowance having support withdrawn as new assessment criteria is start to bite.

I have been trying for the Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) for nearly 3 years. One application was rejected with no reason, and the second was delayed as we had no Occupational Therapist (OT). Harry (my son) was ill, and we have only over the last 6 months got another OT.

Our third application was delayed again with no explanation, so I start to dig around to look for further information and try to discover the reason for no response to my application.
