Mandatory Reconsideration (PIP) Success

Hi everyone, this is my first post here but I've been a long time lurker on this brilliant website. 
I had been receiving PIP Standard Daily Living for the past 4 years due to mental health and a few months ago had a review and had my award stopped. I did a Mandatory Reconsideration and today found out I've been awarded Enhanced Daily Living and standard Mobility. So please don't ever give up hope. Maybe I was lucky because the Decision Maker who called me seemed like a lovely lady who actually seemed concerned. I know success stories regarding the DWP are quite rare but they do happen. 
I just wanted to share this with you to give those going through the Mandatory Reconsideration stage a ray of hope.

    Yes, we’ll done. I’ve Epilepsy & Depression, took a long time and emails to Parliament to suddenly be awarded PIP (backdated) on the lower rate, now I’m appealing to get the higher rate.

    Hello @JamesUK, I'm glad you finally took the plunge and posted after being a long time lurker! It's nice to 'meet' you. :)

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we rarely hear of successful MRs so it's really good to read that they do happen.
