 	 				DLA Appeal won was created by Anna 			
  			 				Just wanted to thank benefits and work for all the advice on the site.
 
I won my appeal for DLA and went from being awarded nothing to getting lower rate care and higher rate mobility (for severe ME)!
 
I have even had my claim backdated to August last year (which was the date I requested the form) despite not returning it until December last year, as I was too ill to fill it in. The DWP wanted to start my claim from December, but somehow the tribunal put the date as August. I've just spoken to someone who has confirmed back-dated payment of over £4000 - a good day!

  			 				Well done on persevering with your claim and securing your DLA entitlement, which always gives hope and encouragement to others, who find themselves in a similar situation.
