Reviews pip
Hi. Here goes!! I transferred over from DLA to PIP in January 2016 after Mental Health issues from 1996 that will never change.
I was awarded Enhanced Care and Standard Mobility. No reviews. Ongoing.
I was awarded 10pnt descriptor E.
Even though on pip2 form and assessment report it states i only go out with my son and support worker due to fear everyone is going to kill me.
It also states it takes me 2-3 days to build up to go local shop alone which is 150yrds away and then i run back home.
I also got points for needing social support for communicating(which i feel is relevant when your outdoors.
My support worker or my son takes me to appointments i.e psycology, hospital etc.
I always felt as though i should have been awarded F 12pnts as what i was awarded was for people who DONT go out at all.
My CPN advised me not to appeal as there was a case going through court. And also the fact i may lose some points too.
After recent events of court cases its made me more determined to appeal......but its too late.
I cant ask for change in circs as there hasnt been any apart from psycology appointment. And also my mental health wouldnt cope with being reassed for the whole thing AGAIN. And i may lose points as some people say.
What would you advise as i really think i should have got decriptor F and ER.??
I have no problems getting evidence off my mental health team.
Thankyou.

I'm in the same situation as you. I got higher rate mobility but only standard daily living which was because of evidence being ignored and the assessor being believed. If the process was working properly enough has changed for me to try and increase my DL but I'm waiting for changes to be made to PIP before I do anything.
