DLA Appeal

[toneloc]

Hi
Anyone ever applied for DLA?
I applied in April, got rejected, I was advised to appeal against the DWP decision.
I have my appeal hearing tomorrow, can anyone give me an idea as to how these things go?
What happens?
Thanks a lot

Tony

Hi, Basically the appeal panel, made up typical of 3 people, some medical and some legal, will ask you why you qualify for the benefit, ask you about your care and mobility needs and any evidence you have, such as Drs letters stating your needs.

I haven't had a DLA appeal but an IB one, so part of my argument was the many mistakes in the "medical examination".

Here is a good guide of what happens:

Good luck!
