I've not heard of this. Only heard of this for ESA.

Or do you mean when they decided people with mental health difficulties shouldn't get mobility and then changed their mind?

On what grounds can a person with mental health issues get mobility allowance.?

It depends how your mental health affects you

They will in time review all current PIP claims for this but this can take years. They haven't changed the PIP descriptors as yet either. Not everyone with Mental health will qualify for the Enhanced mobility, some will but some won't. There's no need to anything, if you qualify they will contact you. Just don't expect it to be anytime soon.

If it's a court date, won't that apply to those turned down after that date?
Just thinking of the ESA only being back dated to the court date.
It's not just IB, it's ESA as a whole. Please check your paperwork.

The descriptors for phycological distress are now getting used like they was doing before the change.

Before my pip appeal I was not awarded anything for mobility on those grounds-mental health.
I was fine with that to be honest.
But at Appeal I was granted 10 points for the journey aspect

My forms looked to be aimed at just physical issues. Have they reworded some forms?
