IIDB - not happy with my award length

AndrewHall

DWP awarded me 14% disablement. The problem is the award ended 4 days after the date of my assessment. I am not happy about the award length because I feel it should be longer.

As with all benefits you can challenge that decision by first requesting the MR. Assuming the decision was made within the last 13 months.

IIDB are a nightmare
I had a total of 7 x 1 year reviews/awards starting in 1996. It started at the 70% rate and then went down to 40%. My last review was in 2004 which failed when they decided that I had no issues!
Unfortunately I did not appeal against that as in 2004/5 I spent time under section in a secure unit at the hospital.
It took until 2011 before I recovered enough to get to grips with the benefit system.
I had another review/assessment in 2011 which was also nil. I sent in a MR and after 6 months of coming and going with letters and discussions. They re-awarded me at 40% for life and with the evidence I also sent in going back to 2004/5 they agreed that it be back dated to Feb 2004. Unfortunately whilst I was looking for the 7 years + back pay they told me that they could not pay it as I had not lodged an appeal against the 2004/5 decision. Being locked away and high on anti psychotics etc meant nothing to them.

Good luck in your journey with the Bradford IIDB Dept!!
