Hi
After almost 18 months of waiting and pestering I've been awarded a WP at 30% . That's for Panic Disorder and PTSD. They say they have taken into consideration the how the condition affects my daily life. To be honest after reading some of the threads on here i wasn't expecting anything at all, so to be acknowledged was a bonus.
The only problem i have now is that in the mean time whilst waiting for the claim to come through i was advised to Claim DLA until the claim was awarded. Im under the impression that the backdated award will have to be used to pay back the DLA i was awarded . I fully expected that. That isn't the Problem. The DLA was awarded at the higher rate care of £82 and lower rate mobility at £21. Yet the WP is 30% which you are aware is £53.46.
This leaves me with a deficit of almost £50 a week that i cant pay back for what i obviously now owe. I only got the award today which should of been a cause for celebration yet i feel i'm in a worse position. I dont believe they have taken into account the care needed during the night when i fall out of bed, fighting , Screaming and sleep walking and the tireless work my wife has to do to ensure my safety. I really dont know what to do. Please help.
