  I was feeling pretty low anyway this morning as have appointment with kidney specialist tomorrow and can see dialysis for rest of my life looming. Then this is the first thread I read. Now I really need cheering up. The DLA is the only thing that makes my life worth living because without the possibility of paying for the odd trip out (mostly to Doctor, Hospital and rarely shops) I might just as well chuck in the towel. Having recently tried the trip to K & C by bus and been prostrated by it for about 3 days I do not know what I will do if my DLA is taken away.
  When you consider that even with the Volunteer Bureau it costs £30 to get to Canterbury, it is not something I could afford on my pension alone. And nowadays most appointments are there or Ashford or Margate. I have paid that much for the privilege of being told that nothing much was going to be done yet (which could have been said over the phone by the way).
  Eye appointments, X-Rays, Venograms, minor ops..... Just will not be able to afford it all.
  So could some kind person think of something cheerful to tell me?
