Closed stop DLA refusing rare disabilities! I.e Perthes Disease

Closed on

Perthes Disease - legg-calve is a rare childhood disability, It is a degenerative disease affecting the femur/hip which leaves sufferers like me with often lifelong mobility problems including arthritis, extreme pain, limping, one leg longer than the other, swelling of the joints Etc, yet i am disgusted to hear so many stories of DLA/PIP refusing to recognise this as a disability turning down children in wheelchairs!! not just once but 4-5 times per child. THIS IS A DISGRACE do your research DLA!!
