I know we are lucky here in the UK, and loads of other countries do not get any help, and yes i feel for them, but has any UK resident has their local council take their DLA care component to pay towards their care package? if so have you appealed the allowance (bit they left you with) on the grounds that your Disability Related Expenditure (DRE) is more than their allowance?and lastly if you have appealed have you won the appeal and been allowed to keep more of the allowance?

It seems like no one in my borough has been successful and i was wondering if this was a national problem or just a local one.
