Employment Support Allowance Thu 19-Nov-09 02:58 PM
ESA ( Credits Only ) disallowed Nil points awarded. Client in receipt of DLA High rate Mobility Middle rate Care. Against our advice she insisted on going ahead with appeal although not actually receiving ESA as husband working. Tribunal Chair has now requested dcocuments from DLA to find out why DLA awarded and ESA medical has not awarded points. Is this lawful?

higginsa you said that you advised the client to not appeal.
Is this because you think that the ESA appeal is unlikely to suceed? Or are you worried that the Disability Living Allowance award will end up being reviewed?
