Chasing my son cost of living payment.

I quite agree, the evidence was sent in time. The judge was trying to search for the extra evidence and she became agitated and angry that she could not understand what I was referring too, when cross referencing the evidence to why the DWP refused my son the correct award. I felt this whole ordeal went against me and I knew my son was not going to get what he was entitled to. I felt the judge felt it was more like a burden and hindrance for her, as she had to keep on searching for the additional evidence on her computerised system, at one point the judge accused me that one of the documents was not there, until the other member of the panel had to help her locate it and point it out to her on her computer.
The doctor on the panel referred to my evidence has being late, which was not the case. Claimants are allowed to submit evidence up to 7 days before the trial which I had submitted my son’s evidence 8 days before the tribunal.I feel they had all already made up their mind that they were not going to give my son the correct award, even though I had submitted letters from my son’s specialist consultant, school health plan, which the DWP said there was no school health plan, evidence , an email outlining 1:1 support for my son, which DWP had written that there was no evidence of my son needing 1:1. (I submitted an email from the school SENCO sent to me ,advising me that a 1:1 would be put into place in the classroom for my son) it was also written in the health plan that wa updated on the 09.05.23.
I know the panel did not even bother to look at the additional information. My son specialist consultant had even gone as far to write in the document that they were in “support of my son receiving DLA” as his needs are severe!

Thank you so much for the extra information it helps me understand it so much clearer.
My poor son went from receiving middle rate for care and mobility to no rate from DWP, to then only low rate care award. This is so upsetting and disappointing, especially all the effort and dedication I put into submitting the additional evidence. I attended the trial with my evidence/documents in the chronological order, so that I was organised. The panel ended up relying on my evidence as they could not find their additional evidence correctly on their computerised system.
I am trying to fight for justice for my son as all the evidence that was Submitted proved that he was entitled to the previous award or even a higher award.

Good afternoon,
Please can you advised if DWP provided a change of circumstances form for children on DLA. I contacted the DLA child department and asked them to post/send me a change of circumstances form and I have not received it. The DWP sent me other other information in the post relating to my son outcome of his tribunal again, but they did not send me a change of circumstances form. I cannot also located anywhere online.

Thank you so much for your response.
