Dear Sir or Madam,
Please could you tell me what is the time scale for a DLA Appeal. I
would particularly like to know how long the DLA have to arrange an
appeal date. What is the law on the DLA running out of time and the
appeal being upheld? As the public only get 28days to make the
appeal, surely they have a time limit to prove their case?
I look forward to your reply asap.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
A Nelson

Things to do with this request

Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley left an annotation (5 January 2009)
I have a particular interest in the DWP's response to this request as they have failed to give any response within 20 working days (currently 30 working days and counting) to a request I made (not through this site but in writing with documentary proof of their receipt) under the FoIA and DPA regarding the status of a couple of benefit appeals, as well as to those appeals.
