DLA mandatory reconsiderations and appeals

We want to help you get the benefits that the law says you are entitled to. We know that if you have a disabled child you often have to fight to get the help you need and that isn't fair. Here we show you what to do to get the right Disability Living Allowance award and how to do it, even if you haven't got an adviser to help. 

If you get turned down for DLA or do not get the award you thought your child or young person was entitled to, please ask for a DLA mandatory reconsideration using our tool. The tool makes asking for a DLA MR much quicker and easier.  If your  DLA reconsideration isn't successful, please make sure you appeal t using our DLA appeal guide. See our guide shows you how to successfully appeal a DLA decision.
