Hi all, I thought I wouldpost here too.
I just wondered if anyone had any experience in appealing one component of the DLA.
Long story, but I applied and got refused both, nothing for care or mobility, I appealed and sent in the appeal forms and on reconsideration I was awarded LRC alone, we then appealed again and they reconsidered again and awarded LRC and HRM.
I think the mobility fair, but the LRC is quite low really as I need help throughout the day and night a fact which is highlighted in the forms.
I also have just recieved hospital treatment for collapsing and severely hurting myself in the night as no one was there to help me, a fact my carer was phoning to say when we got the new decision.
I hope to discuss it with my new consultant and hopefully get another letter of support.
So I just wondered if anyone had any experience and what to put in the appeal forms.
Thanks.
