Can someone please give me some advice.
In 1999 iwas awarded high rate mobility low rate care for 3 years.Since then every 3 years i filled in a new claim pack and got the same.
In Jan2011 my condition got worse after informing the dla and asking them to look at my claim again they said that they thought i was on the right levels.
I objected and thy sent a doctor to look at me. This was 2weeks after going for a medical to have my Industial Injuries disablement benefit looked at again,which i won and it was increased.
I thought the dla medical would be the same and you was aloud to read what was put before signing,shock horror no.
Iwas going to go to a tribunial but after getting all the paper work back was adviced not to due to a very damiging doctors report and leave it to claim again which i did in July.
Yes youve got it,just got the letter back, from October i have not been awarded anything the car has to go back ,this means i will be unable to go anywhere as i dont live on a bus route.
The thing that makes my blood boil is the doctors report is a compleat [removed by moderator],how can someone in his postition be aloud to get away with it.
The day after my medical i rang and complained,anyway enough said.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP.

You can appeal the Decision, see

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

The process is explained in more detail in our DLA Appeal guide

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/dla/#dlaappeals

This link also includes a guide to challenging the medical report.

You might want to seek face to face adivice

Where to get advice?

Good luck

An award of DLA mobility and/or care component can only be stopped if you have received the reasons for this from the Decision Maker dealing with your claim.
