I had my pip review assesment in January this year, recieved my descion in February, Which confirmed my fears that i had lost my pip award. I was originally awarded pip after going through tribunal and was awarded standard daily living and enhanced mobility, this all took nearly 2 years from first applying. So now im in the same position again, i have asked for a mandatory reconsideration which i sent in my own letter and posted it recorded which has now been looged as of last week, was told it will take up to 15 weeks to hear anything back from DWP. I have mamaged to extend my motability car for a further 8 weeks while this process is happening, but im left with a descision to make as after reading different posts and from personal experience i knows there is only a small percentage of claims that dwp overturn the descion on and knowing the possibly the DWP will not change there mind and i will lose my motabilty car which is used on a daily basis and an aid for me. Do i wait out the 15 weeks in the off change the decsion will go in my favor or do i buy a car, i should add im not well of at all and most likely cant afford a car but im asking if anyone has been in this situation and has any advice for me? i dont want to make the wrong choice. i know i can go through tribunal which i will definatley do, but i also know its a long road and my pip will only be reinstated if im sucessfull. I just dont know if buying a car is a good option or not but if or when i lose my motability one that is when i will struggle more, a it is used for appointments, shopping and getting me from a to b which isnt far, but without the car i couldnt do any of that. Appologises for the long post. But any help would be very appriciated.
