DLA is based on care and /or mobility needs - nothing to do with IIB.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

huh? You asked if you being awarded IIB would change your DLA appeal. They're two different benefits given for two different things.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

No need to be rude OP. Being disabled does not equate to needing care or having mobility problems. Disability does not necessarily exclude someone from working so being awarded one benefit does not passport you onto others.0

Id you're appealing ESA and DLA then any additional evidence might help. Ask for a copy of any evidence they considered for the IIDB award and see whether it's worth sending it in for the appealsI'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!0
