Medical Advice On DLA
my mum is 77 years old and has suffered from osteo arthritis since she was 60, her condition has worsened so much so that she now has to wak with the aid of a walking frame and can no longer manage to do the housework herself, I myself am confined to a wheelchair with cerebral palsy and have to have carers in to see to my personal needs.
(I am 52 years old) We know of two people who get DLA and were wondering if my mum qualifies. Thank you.
