Hi k,

Yes you can still appeal using The GL24 Form which can be downloaded and printed off (from around page 20 onwards) from the link on this page :

How to submit an appeal

See also : How long do I have to appeal?

From our : Appeals FAQ’s

You may also wish to request any documentation used in coming to the adverse decision :

DLA Medical – What forms to ask for?

From our : DLA FAQ’s

There is a DLA Appeals Guide on this page :

Once you submit an appeal, the adverse decision will first undergo a full reconsideration carried out by a different, more senior DLA Decision Maker. If the decision is not changed in your favour at this stage, it will automatically be sent forward to the Appeals Tribunal Service, and you will receive an "Evidence Pack".
