Say on DLA form you that you will hire a lawyer? was created by Wolfita
On the 'Any other details about your claim' page of the DLA form, would it be a good or bad idea to say something like,
"I will retain a solicitor in the event of any appeal or tribunal that arises in the course of the DLA process"
?

I thought so, I just wondered whether they have a policy of summarily rejecting everyone at first and waiting to see if they appeal.
