Please help, here is a brief history
march 12 - i applied for dla for my 13 year old who has severe complicated epilepsy
It was refused in april and i asked for a reconsideration which was also refused.
In june 2012 i asked for an appeal and i noted when they sent the paperwork to me that the consultants report was very brief and had missed out lots of info
In august the cab advised me it would be worth putting in a new application as well as my daughter was worse. I did this, and ut was refused again at the end of september.
Bynow she was under a different specialist and her new epilepsy nurse wrote a letter giving info about her condition and also backing up info i had given in the original (march) application. I sent it in asking for a reconsideration of the latest application.
Within about 3 days i had a phone call from a decision maker who said clearly now they could see they had made a wrong decision and that they awarded hrc and lrm and it was being backdated to march. They also said that they would now withdraw my appeal.
Later in october i received notice of a tribunal date, so i rang the tribunal body and explained that the appeal had been cancelled, and they said ok they would cancel it there end.
Today i received a letter saying that my appeal had been heard (!!!!) and that it was refused, saying my daughter is not entitled to DLA from march 2012.
