Hi kv,

Sorry to hear this.

It is your decision on how to proceed, but I would advise that you have a good think about this before deciding what to do.

As it seems that your G.P. is supportive, this can only help if you choose to appeal.

You have one month to do this from the date of The DLA Decision Notice letter, and can download and print off The GL24 Form from the link on this page :

How to submit an appeal

From our : Appeals FAQ’s

As you have no award there is little to lose.

There is also an Appeals Guide on this page :

DLA Guides

You may also wish to request any reports or documents that were used by The DM in coming to the adverse decision, see :

DLA Medical – What forms to ask for? from our :

DLA FAQ’s

You can do this by issuing a SAR :
