DLA NOT RENEWED! was created by murphy
Hi,
I've had my DLA of higher mobility & middle rate care, stopped at renewal!
I've got 20 health problems & I just can't believe they have stopped it altogether.
They sent a report to my doctors surgery & a doctor that I haven't seen for years filled it out, she gave information that she wouldn't know. I feel very let down by this.
I'm appealing, but the tribunal are so busy, they won't hear my case till October!
So I'm thinking of having a paper hearing, any advice please?
Many thanks,
Michelle

I don't have up to date figures, but I believe the success rate for paper hearings is less than 10% whereas it is more than 50% for DLA Tribunal hearings where you attend.

It will not be long before claimants who appeal adverse benefit decisions, will also be making a complaint to the Tribunals Service about the length of time it takes to have their appeal heard!

I'm absolutely gutted...I've just got my decision from the tribunal & it was all disallowed!
I can't believe that I can be disabled for 3 years & then when its renewal time, they suddenly decide I am not entitled to anything!
