    thank you that is very informative.

    how would i go about doing a change of circs, like i said i attended the tribunal on my own because my wife was ill at the time and she finds very difficult going out, talking to people she does not know, get very confused very easily. would this be some i could do with out her again

    You basically need to contact the DLA people, and fill in a fresh form that they will send you.
    If you disagree with the decision made after this, then you can appeal again.
    You do risk losing any existing award, and payment will not resume if it is removed until and if you win a tribunal or reconsideration.

    Who looked after the kids while you went to the appeal?

    If your wife had attened the appeal she would have had a much higher chance of being awarded DLA statistically.
