Hi daiisey,

If you are asking for a reconsideration it is best to make your points by letter, otherwise it's likely that the DWP won't change their decision. You say you haven't been for a medical yet; did the DWP just make a decision based on your PIP2 questionnaire? That can happen, but a health professional will still have prepared a report about you, so you've done the right thing by asking for that.

I do recommend that you ask the CAB to help you with the reconsideration letter. That will help you to identify where the report is wrong, and explain what points you should have got in the mobility activities. You could start thinking about evidence you have (medical evidence, and examples from your life) which show that you have mobility problems. 

Do get help with this as soon as you can, otherwise you may just get a mandatory reconsideration notice which doesn't change the decision, and then you would have to appeal. I hope you get this changed, and get the right result.
