DLA appeal treated as PIP appeal by judge
A colleague represented at a DLA appeal this morning. Judge informed him that the panel was to be treated as a hearing appeal for PIP and it’s new rules. Despite representations the judge stood firm and the appeal was lost.
As far as I am concerned the judge’s management of the hearing was unlawful. He failed to apply the correct law! In the TAS has suggested considering DLA AWARD during ESA hearing and vice versa!
Has anyone else come across either of the above?
