So after being awarded indefinite DLA with the mobility component and having it for 12 years, they now have gone through so much that they withdrew the appeal as the risk was too high to lose everything. So when people talk of it being easy to appeal it is definitely not. They don't make it easy, there is hardly any advice and you have to be lucky to get a nice judge.
they should reapply i recommend the guides from http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/
they are worth the cost
They now have no car and require help from family to get to places.
