Could anyone tell me why I have received a review of appointment to act for disability living allowance form for my son who has cerebral palsy the content of the letter basically out lines what it is to be a appointee and asks me to sign and return the letter within 2 weks stating I am still meeting my responsibilities for the care of my son which beggers belief to be honest ! However is very concerning ! Would very much appreciate some guidance thank you.

From what I can find the UK was found to be in breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as a result of this the DWP have been required to carry out an appointee review.

The following link is for the impact analysis document which has more details of the requirement.

Hope this explains it.
