Tabi, have just posted to you in 'today I be..'
When they say indefinatly, is that literally forever? I had to renew mine by sending off a nnew form and i had only been receiving less that a year?
Pleased they said yes
Ellis

Hi Ellis! I guess "indefinitely" means for ever, as long as care needs and mobility issues don't change...

[hannah]

Good for you Tabi that should help you get whatever supports etc you need and even a funky wheelchair if you need it

[Englishgremlin1]

Indefinely means what it says, something unusual for government!!!

I checked mine and it says until either you say it has changed or they do have the right to check every few years but in essence - life.

There is also one other big advantage - if you are on ths level it means you get the benefit after 65 wheras for most people it is replaced by lesser benefits after that.

I was dreading that they would say no... but I'm so happy
Suprised but happy
