Good morning,

I need help regarding DLa mandatory reconsideration.

My Son has ASD/Adhd. He got high rate on care and low rate mobility .we want reconsideration on mobility, but I read on line they will reconsider whole again .and might be they put low in both criteria or refuse too.

Can I ask for look only mobility rate?

    You can mention that you’re happy with the care part but they will still look at the whole award again. The most likely outcome of any MR decision is that it remains the same. It’s rare to lose an existing award at this stage but it does happen.

    Hi @zara25, as Poppy mentions you can appeal the decision, but it will appeal the entire decision. If the DWP has found someone meets a certain threshold for an award it is rare for them to lower it with an MR. It depends what is presented in the Mandatory Reconsideration when you make the appeal.
