What level of savings does your partner have? When did you apply for DLA?

[andy13]

Hi I applied 5 weeks ago he has five thousand maybe more now

The £5000 works out as £38.46 per week tariff income which is very helpful. Was your claim for DLA or PIP? It basically all boils down to you being granted DLA/PIP (any rate). However, having vast experience with DLA you should understand a refusal is the case for many applicants at first instance. If you are refused, appeal within 1 month. I can show you a template letter to include with the spouse (I assume s(he) is your spouse?) application when you are ready to apply.

Hi thank u yes that would be good I applied for dla to be told to do pip we just so stressed that it's killing us both we not married yet but plan too as soon as can I have a council house and receive hb I've got enough room is there any other hurdles ahead that you know of many thanks

A DLA/PIP award is the most important issue and your spouse meeting an A1 English requirement.

I've sent in all supporting evidence I can to dla it's so frustrating they say long waiting time on claims too his English is ok so shouldn't be a problem there thank u for advice
