Have just put in a request to TAS for a postponement of a hearing, but also preferably a domicilliary hearing for DLA. Am still waiting and chasing medical reports from 2 consultants, hence the postponement, as insufficient medical evidence yet. Client is 64 and very immobile- only able to walk to the toilet in her own home, and not at all out of doors, hence application for dom hearing.
But.. first time I've done this. Can anyone give me any pointers about what to do if refused, or even advise as to how commonly these requests are accepted? And how soon should I expect to hear from TAS? (The appeal date is set for 17/08/04).
Very grateful for any replies...
Meg.
