Due to the recent changes in mobility I have been sent a letter from dwp saying that i am still on 4 points . I think I should be on 8. Can i ask for a mandatory review and if i can will they look at the whole claim again as i have heard of cases where people have lost other part of pip benefit. Mt assessment was in September 2016. Just wondering if anyone had any advice .

    Hello @lynmp Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for joining and sharing.  I am one of the team of community champions on the forum.

    In answer to your question .  I am unsure of answer. I know that you need the right information and advice.

    There are members of our community who are better qualified than myself to answer.

    We also have members of our team who might be in touch 

    Have you spoken to CAB. They can help with benefit enquiries.  Benefits are complex and confusing.

    Hope that helps.

    Please take care.
