I told them it was incorrect and not to use it and that a correct form would be completed using my paper medical notes by another doctor but they ignored this and went ahead and made a decision anyway. What can I do ?
Your only option is to appeal the Decision, a first stage to this is to request a Mandatory Reconsideration, you can do this over the phone but we recommend that you follow this up in writing.
You should make it clear that you will be submitting new evidence; the new report that you mention in your post, you should be given four weeks to do this.
I would also recommend that you request all of the documents used in the making of the Decision
DLA Medical – What forms to ask for? Our DLA MR and Appeal guide explains the process in more detail, if you have any questions on this or indeed anything related to the process, please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
