I was invited to move from DLA to PIP back in March 2019.
I was awarded standard care standard mobility.
I submitted a mandatory reconsideration at the beginning of July as I know I certainly met the descriptors for enhanced mobility.
I received a letter at the beginning of August saying it remained at Standard/Standard.
I knew this would happen so already had my appeal ready.
Last week on the 13th I submitted it online. I was told that the DWP have until 17th September to respond. I called the court in our area and was told the wait time for my area is 28-35 weeks for a hearing. So I settled down for the wait,
Today less than a week after submitting my appeal online I received a call from the DWP with an offer to increase my mobility to enhanced. She said that they review again before responding to HMRC and she clearly could award me the 2 points I needed to get the enhanced rate,
I accepted the offer ( review in 2023 ) as this is all that I wanted and really felt I was genuinely entitled.
I want to thank everyone here especially
@poppy123456 for your tireless efforts and the Scope team too.
