Dla

Yeah I just thought I'd lost appeal hope you get yours and thank you very much put my mind at rest am st the point of just giving up every time I appeal it gets knocked back think this is NY last chance my son is an idiotic toe walker and has been like this since he was nine months old he's 8 now been in and out of cast for the last 3 years for 6 to 8 weeks at a time then splints for 6 months at a time the hospital have made his feet worst cause they left casts on to long now he has no arch on his feet at all now still been refused its so frustrating they say my child hasn't got a disability when clearly he has hope all goes well for tour appeal and thanks for putting my mind at rest

When you sent off the papers for this Appeal did you ask for a paper based decision or are you both going to sttend in person? The reason i ask is because the chances of wining are much greater if you appear in person rather than just having the paper based decision. Did you also send in evidence to support your claim? The more evidence also the better your chances. Good luck

I ask for paper appeal as iv just had a stroke and am recovering also am a full time career for my mum there is no one to look after my mum as I don't have any other family members I sent evidence of hosputial school pysco pycolists fingers crossed don't you think iv got a chance with a paper appeal if I could of attended myself I would but I just carnt thanks for your advice much appreciated fi

Well the chances of wining if you appear in person are much greater, i'm not saying you have no chances of winning. I don't know the actual figures for DLA but i do know the figures in general are much greater if you appear. This is because it gives them a chance to see the claimant in person rather than just reading the evidence etc. Hopefully for you and your son the decision will go in your favour. Tribunal times do vary depending on where you are in the country. Some people are waiting months just to recieve a date. Sorry to hear about your stroke! Good luck with the appeal and please do come back and let us know the outcome.

Thank you your advice hasnt made me think I carnt win I was just saying the reason I had to have a paper appeal any advise is appricated as I don't have a clue with all this it just seems like an endless battle fighting all the time it just makes you want to give up even when you no that your child or family members are entitled to the benefit but carnt get them thank you very very much I let you no out come
