Is it time to appeal DLA was created by Trundles
Hi to all, i have been a member for a while but this is my first post. I have just got a decision of HRM and LRC was on MRC for 5 years .Im thinking of appealing the care componant. I recived the letter telling me of the decision I then sent some additional info and recieved another letter stating the decision will stay the same. Do I now go ahead with the appeal or is there a process before this.
Many thanks to all

It sounds as if the DWP have carried out a reconsideration and found against you. If this is the case then your only recourse is to appeal - being aware that there is the risk of losing your current award rather than getting an 'upgrade'. There is lots of help in the appeal guides on this site.
