The government has welcomed The Court of Appeal ruling and says the plans can now " move forward again".
But disability-rights campaigners plan to appeal against the latest ruling.
The High Court had found the survey of disabled people had failed to consult effectively.
The government had failed to provide enough information on the proposed strategy to allow for meaningful responses, campaigners had told The High Court.
But in The Court of Appeal, Lady Justice Laing ruled " the purpose of the survey was to find out information and views which might 'inform' the strategy" and those surveyed could not have been given more information about the strategy " because it did not exist".
The High Court judge had been wrong to rule the survey was subject to " the Gunning requirement" and therefore wrong to rule The Work and pensions secretary had acted unlawfully.
The Gunning principles include requiring public bodies to provide The Information people need to contribute to a consultation and that The The decision makers take the result into account.

Campaigners Doug Paulley, Jean Eveleigh, Victoria Hon and Miriam Binder, who has since died, had brought the case against the government.

" The original strategy and consultation was a travesty, " He Said . " We feel it was a waste of money and time and an insult to disabled people. "
The consultation " didn't allow us to Say Anything on the important issues for disabled people", " Mr Paulley added.

" I Am delighted that We Are now able to move forward again with this ambitious agenda, implementing The Commitments we set out in this long-term strategy to transform disabled people's lives for the better. "
