Disability Living Allowance DLA How to Complain parkinsons disease Disability UK

If you have had an adverse medical report or think that the doctor who examined you made a mistake then you can complain to the General Medical Council.
You can also complain to SEMA (Atos Origin) at their address listed on this site.
You should also make a complaint to the Benefits Agency to get compensation for any harm caused.  A form can be obtained from any BA office.
To get an investigation started into any anomalies in your case you will first need to complain to your local MP.  They will probably write to the BA on your behalf, this sometimes gets results.  If not, ask your MP to support an application to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.  He has powers to investigate any government department, and also to get you compensation if applicable.

The DLAAB should also be notified if you are not satisfied with the way the medical evidence was gathered.

These processes can take months, so above all else, don't give up! Speak to a Welfare Rights organisation such as Citizens Advice to see if it would be worth your while applying again in the mean time.
