    Hi @busyMum16 - you should put your MR in writing (don't ring!)
    Remember PIP is not about any diagnosis, but rather how your disability affects certain activities of daily living &/mobility. Have a look at the activities/descriptors that are looked at again:  https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/personal-independence-payment-descriptors-and-scores-april-2023.pdf
    Concentrate on where you feel you should have got points, & why. Then give a couple of recent (they're looking at when you had your assessment), detailed examples as to the difficulty you face for each applicable descriptor, i.e. when did it happen, where, what happened, did anyone see this, & were there any consequences to attempting/doing an activity?
    Say if you can't do an activity 'reliably,' i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, repeat as often as one would reasonably expect, or if it takes you much longer than someone without a disability. See this mentioned at the end of the link above.
    If you do your MR as a letter, ensure you put your name & National Insurance number on each page. Keep a copy, & get a free Certificate of Posting from your Post Office when sending it off.

    Thank you for the information I have wrote out my MR just got to send it, do I need to put a stamp on it? I’m not hopeful the MR will change as I know it’s a very low chance of it changing but I am ready to fight them on this 💪
