Mrs client has had her DLA reduced on renewal. The decision was made in July that the award has decreased effective from Sept. How can they make a decision that someone’s care or mobility needs have reduced from a future date and it be correct in law. I know its technically more beneficial for the client , but its still not correct. The same would go for the appeal tribunal making such a decision too.
