Hi Jo,
sorry that your Crohn's has returned so soon. :(

Have a look at:
D.L.A. advice specifically for people with IBD
http://www.scottwd1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/dla.htm

and then:
http://www.ostomylinks.co.uk/disability.html

I can't vouch for the reliability of the advice, but it seems good to me.

Also, we've found Welfare Rights extremely helpful and supportive -
they might be a good place to start if you have a local branch.
Google "Welfare Rights" plus your own home town.

They should know which benefits apply to you and help you fill in the
forms. I'd strongly advise you to get help with this as it's a matter
of knowing how the system works.

Good luck,
Kathy
