LOL good question! i dont really know as i dont really recieve any benefits og any kind i dont really tend to strain my brain on it too much, but then again im sure IF i did recieve it, it would certainly help in the long run towards University (currently college) ummm possibly cigarettes and the occasional game that i can actaully beat shades elfen at! e.g. soccer games lol (i always have my butt kicked at dragon ball Z!!!) so yeah! thats pretty much what i would spend it on!

I think DLA is the UK disability pay.  I think there was another thread about it at some point.

Go on welfare... it's the only thing you can do if you've nothing else to go on... it's why most dialysis centres have social workers....
