DLA appeals: two issues, two appeal forms?

Hopefully a simple question..

Client has decisions that (a) he was overpaid DLA due to not reporting an improvement, and also (b) his ongoing entitlement should be nil. Has asked for recons on the grounds that (a) the improvement was later than they allege, and (b) the improvement was not so great and he should retain at least some rate of DLA going forward. Simultaneous negative MRNs received.

If starting appeals on both fronts, I presume it would be advisable to complete two SSCS1 forms? If so, should they be cross-referenced in some way?

Yes, I would. I’d return them with a covering letter asking for the appeals to be linked.

Thank you.
