Is a change in circumstances worth an appeal?

I really need some advice, I get PIP for RA and fibromyalgia, standard rate of care and mobility. I reported a change as my mobility has greatly reduced and I was having serious hip problems and investigations. I sent in all the evidence had a medical and no change in rates. When my report came in there were so many inaccuracies and lies in it that a put in for mandatory reconsideration. In the wait, I had new Drs letter which I sent in and I also learnt I was in need of a double hip replacement. Outcome, still no change and they are not acknowledging new evidence, where do I stand apart from going to appeal??

I think you'll have to go the appeal route.
PIP is awarded for how your conditions affect your daily living and mobility not for the conditions themselves.
Disability Rights UK has a good guide to all aspects of PIP.
