After a long wait my Dad was finally awarded PIP after his reassement - Standard and Standard.
However, it would appear that the DWP have changed - Needs assistance to be able to dress or undress their upper bodywhich is true to Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to dress or undress which is untrue.
The difference between the two is 2 points. Also in the assessors report with regards to Washing and bathing she clearly reports Dad's inability to wash his own hair and back, but didn't tick the appropriate box. That's another 2 points lost, the 4 points lost is the difference between Daily Living Standard and Enhanced rate.
If we query the above, will they look at everything again or just what we're querying? Because of previous experience, my Dad's opinion is one of he doesn't want to rock the boat, but I think we should try. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
