Informed I'm no longer entitled to high mobility rate, waiting for tribunal

Hi I was awarded hug rate mobility of pip and low rate care back in 2016 due to severe arthritis in my knees.I was diagnosed with COPD in June 2017 I contacted the DWP to tell them about a change in my circumstances they sent someone out to see me then informed me I wasn’t entitled to the hug mobility rate.I asked for a mandatory review but they have stuck by the decision.My argument is arthritis doesn’t just go away

Now, I don't have a specific answer to your particular question, but PIP (you will not be surprised to hear) is a very big topic on the site and we have some excellent resources for you to look at and members for you to talk to.
You're in a safe place here, and among friends. Don't be shy of talking to us.
Because your query is very much about PIP your 'introduction' post will probably be moved shortly to a forum which is of more direct use to you. In the meantime you might like to have a look at some of the links that you can see lower down the screen. I'm going to put one of them, Talk About PIP/DLA right here for you to get started: https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/talk-about-pip-dla
Give it a look, stay in touch, and don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard
