Lost appeal

Hi,attended Appeal Tribunal Hearing by myself,without representation,and had my appeal 'disallowed',on all counts.What should I do now? Should I re-apply immediately,or leave it a few months,or leave it entirely?

Hi Nona

Sorry to hear about your appeal result.

Can you tell us what benefit it was in relation to and the date of the DWP decision to stop it.

Derek

Hi Derek,The benefit was DLA.It was my first claim,made on 21st July 2010,and it was refused by DWP on 23rd August 2010.The appeal was heard on 24th January 2011. Got the letter from Appeals Tribunal today(27th Jan).

Hi nona666

Unfortunately I can't advise on DLA, but I believe you can make another claim. Hopefully another mod will advise you.

If you disagree with the tribunal's decision, you might want to consider applying for a full statement of reasons; you should have received a letter with the decision notice informing you of how to do this. If you do not consider the tribunal's reasons to be adequate or feel that they have not properly considered the evidence, you can get advice from a welfare rights officer with regards to challenging the decision.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

bad news but dont give up many people here have had long fights to get there benefits

are you getting ESA or IB ? did you have letters from your drs and gave them the names of drs or nurses that help you or see at hospital ? what where you after both parts or had you asked with one part in mind ?

Is it possible to appeal indefinately against an ESA decision and continue to recieve the assessment rate?
