You can appeal the Decision, you should have received a pamphlet on how to do so and a GL24 appeal form, with the letter notifying you of the result.

Did you keep copies of your previous claims, as you need to identify what may have changed in your submissions that prompted the change, I'm assuming that you don't believe your mobility has improved.

Contact the DWP and ask for the Decision Makers report, so you can see how they arrived at their decision.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find, but you should seek face to face advice from the CAB or Welfare Rights.

Finally, have a look at the DLA Appeal guides in the Members area.

not a lot they can do IMO as many ex service people are getting mobility for a couple of years after losing legs but once they have done rehab its stopped :(

All the more reason for raising the matter with MPs!

It's not like rehab grows their legs back is it? They're still disabled and need financial support. The more hassle MPs get the more they'll respond.
