DLA renewal periods was created by Doris
Are DLA renewal periods generally based upon your previous award.
For example, if your previous award was for two years, does it follow on that your renewal will be for two years, even if the supplied evidence for prognosis is long lasting ?
Or is there no real formula and its down to the discrepancy of the decision maker.

It will primarily depend on the underlying conditions that are causing the care and mobility needs;
- if they are unlikely to improve or would be expected to deteriorate further then it would be reasonable to expect a longer award after re-assessment,
- if they are capable of improvement, even if it unlikely, then you are more likely to receive a similar award period
- if there is an expectation of improvement it is possible to receive a reduced award period.
