If it's a new decision I can request a Mandatory Reconsideration and after that can then appeal to tribunal.0

Hi Calcotti thanks for reply. i had tribunal last month and was awarded points on supervision when cooking and prepairing food. i rang pip up after tribunal as everything was not took into consideration at tribunal and pip then did a intervention review and looked at my claim again and took the points of me that the tribunal awarded. dont know if a MR is worth doing0

Have you received a new decision letter from DWP and does it say you can do a MR? If so that is your way to challenge it.0
-
ok thank you will try that thanks for advice Calcotti0
-
It occurs to me that because he ask DWP to looks at other matters so on it is possible that the person that looks at your again may not have been aware of the tribunal decision.0

I thought the tribunal decision overruled the dwp and any points awarded from them was final (apart from the very few cases where you can appeal to the upper tribunal if you disagreed with the original tribunal decision)?
I’ve personally never heard of the dwp docking points that a tribunal gave but the mods and game hangers will know if there’s precedent0 -

the tribunal gave me an extra 2 points for cooking preparing food total for that was 4 points as i need supervision. i had wrote to pip 4 mths before tribunal sending further evidence about vision problems but nothing came off it.
After tribunal i rang pip and explained the vision and other issues with evidence from a neurologist and they agreed to a intervention but by the looks of it was a full pip review. got decision letter awarding me 2 points for vision but took the 2 points i was awarded at tribunal so ended up same points0 -

You need to be very careful when contacting PIP about things like this because they can take it as a change of circumstances. If you disagree then you'll need to go through the MR process again.

Calcotti - I got you
i have the general rule that you should never ring the dwp unless you 100% have to in case you accidentally trigger something else off
(I was almost going to break my own rules and get a jump on requesting the assessors report just in case the decision letter was bad news - think I’ll continue to sit on my hands)
Dizzy - I would think of it this way, you’ve learnt a valuable lesson which may help yourself and others on this forum in the future. Also you have an award and any award imo is a win (as getting an disability benefit is not unlike pulling teeth at times) - I’ve read of people on this forum who previously had enhanced in both but got docked all their points at the review
sometimes you need to pick your battles which is especially true if you get awarded standard but think you should of got more points - I think 9 times out of 10 I’d leave a standard award alone (especially if the award length was good)0 -
Pip didn't tell me it was a review they said it was a intervention. And to ignore points awarded from a tribunal and for pip just to take away don't sit right with me so gonna fight this and willing to go tribunal again0

Thanks everyone for advice appreciate it 😀0

As I asked earlier - your ask new decision say that you have appeal rights.
I think they mean the same as an unplanned review (when a claimant reports a change) as against an planned review. Both would have appeal rights and in your situation would consider an MR addressing only the fact that DWP have you scored differently on the particular activities that have only just be considered by a tribunal. (Of course this should be considered if the impact you experience warrants these points.)0 -
my daughter has wrote a letter to dwp and enclosed a copy of the tribunal decision and points awarded so will get it posted off and see what happens thank you for all your advice Calcotti0
