I have just come across a client who has Scleroderma disease which is a autoimmune disease , the immune system which should protect the body attacks it instead . There appears yet to be no cure for the disease but it can be controlled with drugs .

Has any of you hardened advisers out there come across anyone with this disease and been successful in claiming DLA for them and if so what rates & components where granted .
