I meant that I probably won't get much from DLA. I doubt I would get any care and probably only medium for mobility, so that doesn't actually add up to much considering how much I actually *spend* as a result of my health problems :/ (Like ready meals instead of cooking, etc.) DLA wouldn't even cover the taxi "co-pay" I would need to actually be able to get to class on a regular basis. (It would cost me £15 per class per week.) DLA doesn't have London weighting so it doesn't matter that taxis (which is mostly what I want/need as I am unable to use public transport regularly) are a lot more expensive than in other regions.... :( And since I don't think I will qualify for highest rate mobility I wouldn't get a vehicle through Motability either.
