my DLA forms today, mostly with a sense of despair and futility.  I'm preparing myself for another fight -- it seems like all I ever do now is fight one bureaucratic process after another.  I'm tired, so very tired of it all.  But I have nothing to lose, really, so I'll fight.  I'll fight for my paltry funds which wouldn't even cover a takeaway (if I could get one), because it's not the money, it's the validation I need.  It's the acknowledgement.  It shouldn't be that way. Carers Chill4us CARER SUPPORT, NEWS AND NETWORKING Our site is run for carers by carers and we all do so on a voluntary basis. If you would like to contribute towards our costs, then it would be much appreciated so we are able to continue to run Chill4us as the family for carers that our members tell us it is.
