I am about 6 weeks into waiting. I expect like most to get told no change and then it'll be a Tribuneral - I will keep you posted. Maybe the original DA should decide? as opposed to these un qualified case workers - and then the DWP would save 150M a year on appeals?

HI,

If you're over the age of 16 and under state pension age do you mean PIP? DLA no longer exists for those between these ages. If you do mean PIP then 74% of those that appear at their Tribunal hearing have a decision in their favour.

DLA and PIP are different benefits with different criteria. Information here in both links.
