Just been watching it on tv can Mr Rochester claim Disability Living Allowance for a Horse with a blue badge.

Course he can DLA for him and carer's allowance for Jane. They should get income support also. Work done to the new estate house. Probably not a blue badge for the horse but maybe a carriage or a bus pass.
Not forgeting their community care grants every six months and posssible social fund loans. They will be minted.
lol

ROFLMAO!!!!
I love Jane Eyre! This was one of the best adaptations I've seen. Toby Stephens makes a fabulous Rochester.
I dunno if he will get Disability Living Allowance - they will probably take his and Jane's savings into account, these benefits are means tested you know! They'd make him sell his house or something.
He should be able to get a horse with a blue badge that he can park anywhere though.
And free walking sticks.
His lunatic pyromaniac ex-wife would have got "Care in the Community" (ie being locked up in the attic at home! That much hasn't changed!)

I don't think Mr Rochester would want to ride a horse during his period of total blindness (he did later regain the sight of one eye). He might hit his head against the branches of trees and other protruding objects and it would bring back to him the trauma of the heroic act which caused his blindness. A nice little pony and trap would be just the ticket.
I think it monstrous that nobody recommended him for an award for his gallantry in attempting to save the life of his mad wife Bertha. Is it too late to do so posthumously?

I am sure it was unheard of in Mr Rochester era. He was a very gallant and Superior proud man and would refuse such a benefit even if he was entitled to it.
