Mandatory reconsideration for daily living component
Hi, Iv been claiming pip since 2021 and had a review on October 2023 and had an outcome on 22nd September stating that I’m only entitled to receive the mobility enhanced for a further 4 years which I was originally receiving anyway. Iv been diagnosed with anxiety & depression disorder, and had to leave employment as it’s effecting my everyday life and career which was advised by the psychiatrist and gp which they have also given me a supporting letter stating my diagnosis and that I shouldn’t be in work due to my condition. I have made a mandatory reconsideration as Iv expressed numerous times how I find it hard to mix with people on a daily basis and Evan coming out the house is alot for me without support. I’m unable to socialise with people I don’t know, Evan people I do know I avoid as it causes me anxiety and panic attacks, and also has caused paranoia which puts me off being around people all together. Iv also send a supporting letter from my mom stating what help she provides for me on a daily basis. I was originally scoured 4 of mixing with people when I originally started the claim. But wasn’t given it this time. I was award 2 points on washing and bathing which is correct as I suffer with seizures. I was awarded 2 points for preparing food as I’m unable to cook and have to use microwave for food. I was awarded 12 points on mobility which seems to be correct it’s the mixing with others part I feel I should of scored at least 4-6points as it’s having effects on not just my everyday living but also my work life as I struggle to be around people in general as I fee suffercated. What advice would you give if I’m not awarded daily Evan though Iv got supporting letters, diagnosis & medication I’m taking which is a very high dose ( sertraline 200mg & propanalol 100mg risperidone 1.5mg) It’s not just my anxiety that plays a role in my everyday life but also my mental health as I suffer with paranoia
I feel like the evidence Iv sent in each times says the same thing and each time seems to be more and more in depth and how it’s effecting my everyday life but I feel like they aren’t taking into consideration my changes.
The review outcome actually states that they agree that my circumstances have changed which is why they have extended my claim for further 4 years?
