Hi
I have a problem with my Direct payments. My local authority allows just £10 for my disability. I appealed giving Scopes feb 18 latest paper on how much disability costs. They took no notice.
they have assessed us (my husband and I on pension and pension credit DLA AA) they say we had to pay £100 per week each we cannot pay this! Any information would be gratefully received

Hi @shirleyrainbow
It’s great to meet you this morning.
We have got some info on Benefit’s here on our site.
The is also a “Benefit Calculator” which will be very helpful.0 -
Hi @shirleyrainbow and welcome to the community. I am sorry to hear you are struggling with this. It may be worth contacting Citizen's Advice as they will know where to go from here

Please do keep us updated and I hope to see you around!0
