Hi,You won't be able to ask them to look at the old claim again i'm afraid because it was 3 years ago. The time limit is 13 months maximum.0

They sent me a letter saying thed looked at it again and i could disagree it ?0
-
It said thed be told too look at certain sessions again.and that she had decided it was fare .It later gives the points I was given and not alot more.then it days if I disagree I can contact them?.maybe not then .don't no if I can be doing with all the drama of it t.b.h0

Sorry but i'm still confused.You asked if you can ask them to look at a decision again but when was the decision made?0

I received letter. It stated there looked at my p.i.p claim again because of changes in the law regarding moving around and .m.h.which I dident score for .It then says I can ask for a reconsideration0
-
Ah yes now i understand. Yes, you can request a Mandatory Reconsideration for that decision. I'd advise you to get expert advice before requesting the MR because scoring points for following and planning a journey will depend on how your conditions affect you. It's much harder to score points in the activity since they changed the descriptor.If your condition has got worse since the original decision was made then they won't take that into consideration.0

Ok thank you I wasent explain it well enough.i do believe I shoukd of got the higher points as I do now.the only changes are I got more medical evidence .spent 18 months waiting for a m.h worker etc but it sounds like a fight maybe not worth the effect on my m.h now .Thanks x0

You're welcome. You really do need to get expert advice before doing anything else. Good luck.

Hi again poppy123456 sorry can i pick your brains one more time.if I do go through and challenge it?.Have I got anything too loose.as have a better award now thanks its kind if the principal over the while mental health that really bothers me going through ptsd anxiety agoraphobia tendsies and still doing so that they dident account for any at all .0

As this is regarding the descriptor changes for following and planning a journey and no one knows how your conditions affected you at the time that decision was made then you'll need to get expert face to face advice.
