Good Morning, My son is 28 he has been on dla since he was little, he has ASD,ADHD,short term memory,dyslexia and ocd,He had his tribunal today and it only lasted 15minutes,only asked a couple of questions,And then said he will hear in a letter.
My question is, why didnt they give him his decision on the phone?
Does that mean he will be refused ?
Thankyou for any advice, As his anxiety is threw the roof, And even his medication for adhd isnt helping him to calm down.
And i havent got the answers for him.
Thankyou again for any advice x

Hi there 

You don't always get a decision  on the day , they may need to look over all the info 

They may also be running behind in time or they could be conducting if remotely from home so seperate locations

It doesn't mean anything at all

Thank you for letting us know about the outcome of your son's appeal. That's really good to hear @ipp2375. 

How are you both getting on? That must be a huge relief and a weight off your mind. Has your son's anxiety started to ease off a bit now that you've heard back? Hope you're both doing OK anyway. You relax and enjoy the weekend ahead!
