Revision was created by PDG
I might sound stupid for asking this, but...
Should a revision of a DLA decision be based on the evidence that was available to the original decision maker?
I ask because my GP has been asked for a statement & I have had to offer ATOS the chance to provide the DWP with a justification for their decision(a medical)
I would have thought a revision was just that, or am I wrong?
