Re: brachial plexus week

Don't know about you lot, but I find that sewing is one of the MOST difficult things it is possible to do with a BPI.

<t>Hi Deanie,<br/> don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but the DLA will not include the mobility component unless your leg is REALLY giving you grief due to other injury. The loss of balance, etc., is not a good enough reason according to them. You should be able to get lower rate, or possibly...
