I want to re-apply for DLA because he has severe Osteoarthritis and I have got all hospital/consultants letters, MRI scans, Ultra sound proving his health.

Can you also say how soon I can re-apply after I went on 4 September 2013 to the hearing. Was only awarded low rate care.

Your reply is much obliged and appreciated.

The decision of the tribunal on (I assume) 4th September 2012 was looking at your* condition when the original decision was made on your claim. If things have worstened since then you should contact DWP and ask for a 'supersession'. This would trigger a reassessment and you must be aware that you could end up with less than you have now. If you do ask for a supersession, it will be entirely up to you to prove that your condition has significantly worstened.

* I have said 'your' condition as I am unsure who the claimant actually is. In some intances you have referred to 'he', in others you have spoken in the first person.
