If you've signed a document to say that the information you've given is complete and true, but you've omitted information about the severity of your conditions, the DM doesn't have the option of presuming you're more ill than you've said, they have to go with the information you've provided. Unfortunately it's often the most common reason for refusals of DLA.

Hello

Thank you. You learn something new everyday!

I have a relative that claimed DLA and was turned down. There was more than enough evidence sent in to prove their needs. Incorrectly he accepted that despite that, he was not in sufficient need according to DLA, so he didn't appeal or ask for a reconsideration.
Thinking back now, I will concede that maybe the DLA 1 was not complete - it was thought that the DWP would give credit for that when they reviewed the evidence.
So, yes thanks for that info, it may come in handy sometime in the future should I need to make a claim in the next couple of years before I am 65.
