DLA payments during appeal??

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this.... but if you are appealing against losing DLA, do you still receive payments during the appeals process like some other benefits?

(I dont think you do!)

    No you don't but the money will be backdated should the appeal be successful. That's how it happened for my dear old dad anyhoo.

    Were you receiving DLA before? What I mean is, I was awarded LRC & LRM, which I am appealing against. The payments haven't stopped.
