DLA fresh claims
Tue 18-Jan-05 09:37 AM

How soon after DLA entitlement has been stopped (subject of appeal) can a client make a fresh/new claim for DLA on the basis of deterioration of condition?
Short but sweet. Many Thanks.

As soon as possible but date of payment is likley to be affected by pre-qualifying period.

I've made quite a few claims straight after unsuccesful Tribunal due to deterioration in condition and in some cases Tribunal chairs have actually advised doing so becuase they ahve not been able to consider period when condition deteriorated.
