Turned down for mobility PIP

kittykat

Hi I have osteoarthritis in my lumber back,Spinal Stenois and depression.. This affects my mobility as I cant bend stretch, walk without constant pain and use aids in my house and a walking stick. I applied for PIP and got awarded standard rate for living but only 4 points for mobility?. I cant even go out without another person with me due to pain levels as i dont drive and feel isolated. I am on a waiting list for surgery which is years long should i appeal this decision?

Hi @kittykat if you believe that the response it wrong then you can appeal, there is lots of information here about how to appeal but it needs to be done within one month of the original decision.
