Hi,
I have just been diagnosed with Brain Cyst, Pineal granuloma, severe migraine aura & siatica. I was in hospital for a few days there regrading the migraine aura. I am currently in full time employment and was wondering if I came out claiming SSP could I apply for the DLA or would I not be eligible regarding my circumstances.
Not sure but if you apply they can only say no.
Are you aware DLA is changing to PIP?

It is still DLA in Northern Ireland. Just wondering if someone else had what I have been diagnosed with
Not sure you would have to look this up on Internet. I live in Wales

Hi Ewing,
You would be eligible under current Government Legislation concerning everything you have mentioned, they are documented on the gov-uk website. If you want I can send you the PDF containing the information. Let me know, I would post the url but the message would go in to moderation.
Regards,
Les.
Hi,
Yes please send me the PDF. Do you need my e-mail address
No, I'll PM you the URL on here, because of moderation settings.
Thanks
Northern Ireland comes under UK Legislation at the moment, including DLA, only difference is where you return the applications to claim.
hi there i believe there is some sort of clause if you have been in hospital and try to claim SSP you can apply for DLA if you can prove that your disability interferes with your work, my husband couldnt get ssp because hed been in hospital but he did get dla, pnone DWP and they will advise you or go on web www,gov all benefits are explained there. god luck
