Hi all. A friend claims child dla and was due to have it renewed but missed the due date and sent in form late. They were refused. Can they put in a mandatory reconsideration or appeal re this due to a genuine mistake.

    Were they refused because they returned the form late or just refused DLA award?

    Can do an MR but will need to give good reason for late return.

    I hope her other half is feeling a little better now @ricky1040? 

    Have you been able to speak to them about the MR today?

    Being in hospital for a few days sounds really difficult @ricky1040. How is everything at the moment? 

    Hopefully, she will be able to get it sorted out soon. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support  :)
