Asked for mandatory reconsideration and sent all evidence off which they received yesterday but rang today to find out if they actually had and its been scanned and apparently gone back to the assessors does that mean I've gotta go through the whole degrading assessment again as I'm freaking out as my severe anxiety is playing up

As a result in the past 5 years since I turned 65 in 2013 I have had 3 re-assessments (previously on DLA High Mobility & Care) and had three failures. The first two were increased to Enhanced Mobility & Care, but the third still stays at ZERO.
I have given up and didn't bother to appeal - just couldn't cope. I feel better now that I am out of the system even though we are down about £200 a week and the Motability car is gone.
