Hi M59,

As the DLA award letter is not dated, you can submit an appeal ASAP to ensure that you are within the one month deadline.

Initially it is enough that you simply state on the GL24 appeals form that you disagree with the decision not to award you DLA, and wish to appeal, and you will submit further evidence as soon as you can.

It may well be worth mentioning that your letter was not dated, as well.

You can download a GL24 from the link on this page :

If you have any concerns you could contact the DLA Unit, see contact details from this link :

The DWP would find it difficult to disallow your appeal for being late, if your letter is not dated.

Hope this helps.
