I have a DLA fraud case where my client, who was in receipt of Higher Rate Mobility, was videoed/taped! walking well over 50 metres. They had received a ‘nerve block’ a week before the surveillance and this was their reason for being so mobile. This treatment would only last 5-6 weeks normally for them.
DWP argue she should have notified them of a change in circumstances!
Also is there any case law out there that may be relevant here?

TIA
