Pip award at mandatory reconsideration

Hi everyone I just received a call from the DWP telling me I have been awarded standard mobility only no daily living component at all. If I take this to tribunal do I still receive payments and what are the odds I'll even get a full award? Thanks in advance

I've heard it can take upwards of a year for a tribunal but the fact they have awarded something at this stage indicates to me that they should award it to me hopefully.
A warm welcome.
To assist you, have you got a copy of the assessment report and copy of your claim form?
If not contact PIP helpline and request these.
You should then seek face to face welfare rights advice, this will enhance your chances at the tribunal.
A good pointer for you to consider over 74% of Tribunal hearings, go with the claimant.
Keep us informed.
I do not have these as yet I just had a phone call basically saying my MR had been successful and that I have been awarded the standard mobility element I will request these as soon as the award notice has come through. I have gone from being awarded 0 points to being awarded 2 for standard mobility and somewhere between 8 & 11 on the mobility according to the person on the phone which I really didn't expect.
You don’t have to wait, you can seek these documents now.
Obviously there is something amiss with your assessment, in that you have been awarded more points at MR stage.
A welfare rights officer is best placed to guide you.
Keep us informed.
