Hi all , can anyone help !
just come back from my sons tribunal and disappointed they couldn’t over turn DWP award as they can only go by the mandatory reconsideration and his situation at the time !
Good news is that he still remains on the enhanced rate for personal care and standard for mobility.
We need the enhanced rate as he is no longer doing his familiar journeys.He is Autistic and had learned his journey to college and gym with a support worker and was doing great but this has declined over time and he is now dependent on myself to take him everywhere which is causing a lot of problems with me having no choice but to keep changing my shifts . My employer is getting fed up with it too.
How can I get them to reconsider as this has caused my son a lot of anger to the point he’s saying that he wants to throw chairs and he’s worried that he’ll cause harm to himself or someone else because of his anger which is caused by change if routes noise badly behaved teenagers the bus not stopping for him at his stop and so on .
Can any one help please

Hi @zubyia, and welcome to the community! I've moved this discussion to our PIP/DLA category where hopefully our members will be able to advise.0

Hi zubyia and welcome
It is correct that the tribunal can only consider your sons claim as it was and not any further deterioration since the award was made.
You can only appeat a FTT decision on an error of law. To do this you first need to apply for a SoR then seek trained advice, it is rare that this happens
You can submit a change of circumstance, if this is appropriate, on either a new condition or a significantly worstened one. If accepted then a new f2f will be required with the possibility of losing points as well as gaining them.
When is your sons award due for review ? this is usually a year before the end date
