I have always been awarded  it when on DLA so am now going to appeal.I have the help of a local charity--'but the costs mount up &losing  the  mobility  element.I am gonna  struggle even more.My disabilities range from a Chiari malformation (needing 4 opps.3 being neurological) I suffered a stroke.infections & about 3 months in  
LL

1K8JNÑL.I have nystagmus.epilepCSXult)I have many other illnesses - causing me to suffer p.t.s.d.having just  been told I have fibromyalgia- seems all too much,yet understandable.I live with my 18 year old son who is a  great help.but having being offered an apprenticeship as a .  technition mechanic at V.W.BREEZE.as a parent I want him to put all his energies into his work&not have to worry about me.My medical was carried out by Atos & because I was having  an "O.k " day .(My mum came with me) I would not lie.&so answered any questions / tasks to h èof my abilities that day.I  think my interviewee I  was over exaggeriiating
