Turned down for DLA/AA? Think you're not getting enough?

Linda from Hastings
This guide is for anyone who thinks the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have made the wrong decision about their claim for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Attendance Allowance (AA), and wants it to be looked at again (or is thinking about it).

This guide will be particularly helpful for you if you don't have an adviser, or if you have an adviser but they cannot come to the hearing with you.

It will take you step-by-step through the whole process. We will show you how to minimise the stress it might cause you, and how to maximise your chances of getting a good result.

This guide looks long, but don't be put off - you will only need to read a few sections at each stage.

Use the menu on the right hand side to view the information online. Or you can download and print it: Turned down for DLA/AA? Think you're not getting enough? (375 KB)

Tell us what you think!

If you claim DLA or AA we'd really like to know what you think to this guide. Does it tell you everything you need to know about the appeal? Is it easy to read and interesting? Or not much help at all? If you've got any comments or would be willing to take part in a survey about the guide's usefulness please get in touch using our feedback form below.
