Is it worth appealing?

jenny_ann

Hi there 

I was told by a benefit advisor I would more than likely be refused DLA for my son first time round I apply. He was actually awarded high rate care and low rate mobility. For us a blue badge would really help but we need high rate disability, is it worth appealing? I just feel so grateful we got awarded first time that it seems greedy to try for the higher mobility

I didn’t know this, I will call them tomorrow and ask. Thank you @woodbine that helps a lot

Hi @jenny_ann, how are you doing?

Hi Chloe, I have applied on line for a blue badge for my son, fingers crossed they approve it, this will help us dramatically. The relief to be able to be parked closer to wherever we are will remove a lot of stress out of situations
