good luck.
Although if you ever apply for DLA again, and get rejected, it's really worth going to appeal. Most people don't (too much stress, too ill to handle it, can't access help, assume the DWP have done their jobs properly) but the success rate for those who do is astonishingly high.

From what I hear, part of this is that the appeals panels have to read *all* the evidence you presented, whereas a DWP decision maker has about 20 minutes to scan through each case. So cases that don't neatly fit the boxes get turned down just because some poor bugger in an office doesn't have the time to understand the situation.

I had to go to appeal a couple of years ago. I'd been turned down flat when renewing. The panel asked me a few sensible questions, spent about 20 minutes telling off the DWP representative who was present, and then unanimously reinstated my award with back-pay and an apology.

Maybe ive been misinformed
But I thought DLA was being phased out now?
Basically if you already on it, you are fine, any new claims are a no no.
