Congrats, reckon four enough for us, just spent an afternoon entertaining two of them. Introduced the six year old to AC/DC. It’s time he put aside childish things such as peppa fucking pig and fireman Sam.

Not yet, might try the magic roundabout and in the night garden, very hallucinogenic.   Must admit he did totally get into thunderstruck and whole lotta Rosie , headbanging with grandpa.   That’s ma boy!

chuffed that the wife has sorted me a blue badge for whatever vehicle i'm in, can now park anywhere, and will be useful for getting back in the car when we've finished the shopping (often there's not enough room to get me close enough to the car door. it also means the govt are likely to start throwing me decent lumps of money in benefits (still waiting to hear about that)

The Government are 'likely' to throw decent lumps of money at you!? I have not had personal need for certain benefits, but do know for fact that 'Government' have set up the system for certain benefits in a manner that has resulted in the DWP, in the first instance, denying such benefits. I fought a case for a young lad of 21 years who the DWP (and Capita) tried to stitch up like a kipper. In the first instance Capita lied within their assessment. Then the DWP extrapolated from that (one could say pre-programmed outcome) to not pay this young man the appropriate PIP and Advanced PIP payments. They were wrong to do so. Just so as you know 75% of all PIP appeals are successful. Do you know of another 'department / organisation;' that is 'allowed' to get it so wrong? I don't. Tread carefully and with full knowledge in this area, if it applies to you. If it does then feel free to PM me for info on what I can remember. Unfortunately I've deleted the two folders that I had on this bloke's case when we won both appeals. You think you've seen dirty!? You'll only ever see that level of UK Governmental internal shitiness if you 'get it' first hand. No need to go down and into the trap that they have laid for you. Point out their trap to them and ask if its within their remit to set that trap.

I would also say appeal the PIP process if they say no the first time!!! 
They almost always do but if there is a need then you are entitled!

its with DWP for consideration right now, am not sure if i meet the criteria as i don't know what the criteria is, meeting the blue badge criteria should mean i'm getting close

if i get knocked back i have a few claim pros i can call on to get it sorted it was part of the service the last hospital offered, but they dont offer the help until discharge to ensure you cant claim while in hospital fingers crossed it'll work out ok. other stuff (blue badge & prescription charges exemption) has worked out good so far so i'm hopeful with the big claim for pip & motorbility.

If you do have a Capita assessment, you should know from the outset that they will try to trip you up at all stages ie. before you even get to their building for the assessment! If what I have discovered is that they will then ask questions, you provide answers, and they write something else other than your answers down. One thing I would advise all in such a situation is to formally request that they inform you of what they have written down on the assessment to each and every question. Otherwise they will quite literally write down complete lies.

Also, big shout at to, er, me going to Supergrass and The Cribs in Crystal Palace Park on Friday (actually, should be a fair few others going considering the number of reduced price ticket links I've DM out!).
