Change from DLA to PIp - awarded enhanced rates

I am my daughter's appointee. Just received letter today from DWP to say she has been awarded Enhanced on care and mobility. I did send in a lot of supporting evidence which I do believe has helped enormously. She didn't even have a f2f. So relieved it's over after waiting for over 2 years for the dreaded brown envelope. We can sit back and relax now.

Warmest best wishes to you and to your daughter,

That must be a big worry off your mind.
Thanks for sharing.
I just hope that my change over (which has only just started) doesn't take 2 years as I was told that if it does not go well I will lose my benefit and my car during the process. Admittedly the car may not be an issue as I am not sure I can continue to drive anyway. I hope that I am worrying for nothing but I can't help it.
Sorry, didn't mean to sidetrack just can't seem to think of anything else at the moment.

Unfortunately it seems that PIP has two extremes. Those that sail through it and get the right award first time, whilst others have to continually fight the DWP to get anything every couple of years for the rest of their life.
More and more I am reading and hearing that claimants are so worn out with it all and are giving up for the sake of their health.
Personally I just don't understand how there can be these two extremes.
I worked in IT it was known as PIBCAK error - Pillock Inserted Between Chair And Keyboard.
Ive just got a fantastic supporting letter from my doctor along with numerous letters from consultants. Fingers crossed that’s enough evidence for them, and I get awarded without a f2f .... fingers crossed! Xx
Fingers crossed for you here, @niknoo 😊
