If you want to challenge the Decision then the first thing to do is request a Mandatory Reconsideration, this must be done within one month of what I assume is a Decision letter. You can do this over the phone, but in this case I would recommend that you do it writing, make sure that you use the phrase "Mandatory Reconsideration" in your letter and send it Recorded Delivery.

I wold make a formal request for the information from the surveillance, this should be in the form of a Subject Access Request.

I would recommend you get face to face from advisor with experience in this area.

Do am internet search for "welfare" advice with your postcode, town, or county.

As a general comment on the information you posted.

DLA does not consider a claimants ability to drive although they may make assumptions on your ability to walk as a result of your doing so, these assumptions may not be correct.

Filling you car with petrol is not considered in regard to DLA and I am struggling to think of any assumptions that could be made from this.

Walking is 41m is below the generally accepted distance of 50m used for DLA and therefore proves nothing.

Any assumptions that the DWP have made take no account of any severe discomfort, or worse, that you may have been experiencing while carrying out these actions.

I hope this helps

You need to get face to face advice.

I have seen cases with far more evidence than that which you report. thrown out as not proving that the claimant was fraudulent in their claim for DLA Mobility. Unfortunately, until the Decision is overturned the DWP can seek recovery of the DLA payments but there are limits on how much they can recover each week which are dependant on your income.

Factual errors will be very important, but you need the original documents not the summary that you have received.
