My partners DLA payment is late. We've rung and theres been a monumental cockup. They gave his money the wrong person and can't give us anything til next Monday. We've used our rainy day money already (cooker died, its one of those years!). My carers allowance is looking abit gone and joy of joys we've got a Dr's appointment in the main hospital (£6 each way) on Fri which I really didn't want to cancel as its the one for his gammy leg but may have to. All we survive on is DLA and carers allowance (housing allowance and CT allowance but of course thats never in our accounts for bloody good reason), and yes the DLA should be used for disability based expenses but it doesn't work out that way.
So me dears. Short of sitting in the town centre with a cardboard sign whats the recommendations?
