Hi,You should put your request in writing stating what you disagree with and where you think you should be awarded those points and why. They will look at the whole award again and not just part of it. I'd advise you speak to your local welfare rights for further advice. Good luck.1

You say that you can walk 30 metres, the DWP say that you can walk more than 50 metres. The difference is only 20 metres which means no award or a standard award. You are going to have to convince the DWP and possibly a Tribunal that those extra 20 metres is an impossible task.

Hi.
A Standard award is 20 to 50m. So you think you should be on a standard award, or were you previously on an enhanced award?
Remember, you need to be able to mobilise at over 50% of the time, (or 4 days a week) reliably, repeatedly and in good time. If it takes you over twice as long than it would a person with no mobility issues, that also should be taken into consideration.
If you cannot repeat the action within a 24-36 hour period, that means you cannot do this action.0 -

Personally I didn't go down that route as it would only be my word against the assessor/DWP.
