Hi,
I received a letter after winning my recent Mandatory reconstruction in which I was awarded 4 points for activity 9. The letter was informing me of the supreme court ruling which details the changes of which descriptor means for the activity. Am I entitled to back pay? I've written a letter anyway but just wondered if anyone had any idea if I had a chance. I've been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD last year (2023) but had my agoraphobia diagnosis since 2010. Here's the timeline of my PIP and the law changes that I could work out.
- I applied in 2018, was awarded daily standard
-Did my MR and was awarded the same
-Applied to tribunal and PIP caved, called me and offered me enhanced mobility with standard daily. I accepted
-I had a review and was awarded the same in April 2020
-the government website says the law change has been considered in all reviews after September 2020
- I triggered a review at the end of 2023 because of my autism and adhd diagnosis
- was awarded the same
- put my MR in and was called by PIP and told they were changing my award to add 4 points to the mixing with other people descriptor and 2 on the managing money descriptor which pushed me into enhanced daily.
Then I got this letter about the law change. With the 4 points, if I had been awarded that in 2018 then I would've always been on enhanced daily and not standard. Me and my partner who is my carer have always maintained that I need social support from him. Do I have a chance? Has anyone else had a similar situation? Thank you for reading. 😊
