Tribunal makes a correction which is not a correction…
I’ve received a ‘corrected’ decision on a DLA appeal, which moves the date of award forward by a month.
This would appear to be in response to representations from the DLA unit, who believed that the health problems leading to the award were a sub arachnoid haemorrhage with a specific date of onset. They did not make such representations in their submission.
In fact, the award was based on the appellant’s longstanding arthritis problems.
So - the correction is clearly wrong.
Is it a new decision, meaning we’re in time to request reasons? (otherwise we’re beyond the month)
Do we simply apply to correct the correction?
I would ask them to correct the correction. Has the “correction” been made by a different judge? I had a similar case some time back and it was resolved fairly easily, so hopefully same will apply here.
