Hi Karen, Try R(DLA)2/01 and, particularly, paras 58 to 69 of R(DLA) 3/01. It's the evidence available that appertains between the dates of claim and decision. Evidence from after the decision date can be used, as long as it relates to the period in question. I used this earlier this week in a tribunal. The client was recovering from a corrective operation that happened between date of claim and decision: they won their appeal.
You might also look at CDLA/1564/04.
Sorry, I'm not smart enough to put in hyperlinks.
