PIP. Profoundly deaf
Hi, I've been awarded PIP standard on both - daily living and mobility. However, I'm not happy with the points. Got 8 points for communication and 0 for mixing with other people. This is wrong. And both those questions are very similar. Can I appeal on just this question alone? Will it affect my PIP payments? Thank you.
