Because doing an MR please sure that you understand the scoring system to explain why you you think you qualify for enhanced rate of mobility

I don't want enhanced mobility I was hoping for basic living over mobility

You can't exactly choose which part you would like. You can be awarded any part and i'm not saying you don't qualify for the daily living part because i don't know exactly how your conditions affect you.

The automated payment line has been known to give incorrect information so you should rely on what the payment states on there. You can either wait for the decision letter or ring PIP on Tuesday when they open and ask them what your award is and they will tell you.

If you do request the MR you should put this in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points.

Thank you , I wasn't expecting any mobility at all but would the fact I'm now getting lcrwa help in the descision? I do appreciate your advice

That happens if you don't fully understand the PIP descriptors. It would help you a lot if you had a read of the link posted by calcotti above and this will then give you some understanding.

LCWRA is completely different to PIP with different criteria. Claiming this will not automatically entitle you to the daily living part of PIP.

Oh I no just wondered if that element could help , as was f2f and pip was paper based
