PIP MM review decision I believe is wrong

Hi I just received a letter from DWP saying they reviewed my PIP award from 2019 and said it wasn't affected. I didn't even know about this but looking at the tribunal I think their review is wrong.

I was awarded 2 points for engaging with others under 'prompting'. My application was filled out by my mental health support worker and the assessment call was was taken by her.

The assessor actually mentions in the award that I have 'difficulties in engaging face to face as confirmed by your support worker' and accepts I do. I needed the support worker to help engage people but despite this I only got 2 points. I didn't appeal because I was scared they'd take it all from me.

Now under this MM ruling, I cannot see how they could review the evidence and still only award 2 points when I was cleary being prompted to engage 'from a person trained or experienced in assisting people in social situations'

I met with this person once a week and had regular texts.

Do I have grounds for a mandatory reconsideration?

Thanks
