I don't know what luck other people have had getting DLA with similar conditions, but enough people get DLA on appeal in general to make it worth sticking with your appeal. Good luck.

is there some connection between back disc and PAD ? in your case....and if so did you make it clear on your dla form ? also in your case is it the calfs that need the by pass

IMO if you did not make clear the connection between both back and PAD then IMO thats why you did not get DLA

if you copied your dla form read through, like most of us there is a good chance everythings down ....

its just making it clear to them lot :)
