Hi everyone.

I received my pip report before the decision. I got awarded 10-10 for mainly mh conditions. 

The case manager phoned me today to say I had been awarded std daily living.

I asked why my points for mobility had gone, and he didn't explain. He said I went out "often". I don't at all.

He asked me if I would like him to reconsider it and I said yes.

Does this mean he has made decision and reconsideration together?

Does this happen often 😢😢

    The assessor said in the report that I got more points than DWP gave me.

    The assessment report is not the decision, it's a recommendation only. Though they do usually go with the report, it has been known for them to go against it.

    You can request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) which you should put in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
