DLA HRM help with caselaw

See attachment but it’s the Harrison decision that you really need to read.

here’a link to harrison, reported as R(M)1/88 -

Just a word of caution. The tribunal of commissioners in R(DLA) 4/06 after conceding that they were bound by the decision in Harrison then went on to say, at para’171, that CDLA/3323/2003 should no longer be followed.

Thank you to all for your help. This has been really useful and I now think I have got my argument clear(ish) in my head! The client has a combination of physical and ‘mental’ causes, with the physical being numerous collapsed lungs that can’t heal properly due to the shaking and tics caused by his ‘mental’ disorder. I am arguing that evidence around the collapsed lungs was not given due consideration and instead the whole of the difficulties walking were linked to a psychological cause, when in fact there are both physical and mental factors -  with the physical problems contributing ‘more than minimally’.
