PIP Mandatory Reconsideration Notices


I am dealing with adult son's PIP as he has severe autism, mild brain damage and severe anxiety.
Has anyone else heard of this please?
We have received 2 different MR Notices. Both with same result: Standard daily living but different time scales.
1st letter says "ongoing" and 2nd letter says three years.
1st letter contains "My decision " but 2nd letter doesn't.
Today, received phone call from Decision Maker who claims 1st letter was an "error" and that "ongoing" was a mistake.
However, she offered to have another look at mobility (0 points) and send us a new MR Notice.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Not sure what to do and wondering if legally, they have to stick to 1st MR (ongoing)?
We also received 2 "Statement of Entitlement".
One for ongoing, 2nd for three years.
Any advice would be appreciated please x

Thanks for reply but do you think we can trust them to send new decision or should we be getting on with Appeal process?
So confused with it all!
So the "ongoing" was a mistake then. But I was wondering if legally they have to stand by it, now they've actually sent it?
I can now see I'm fighting the wrong battle here!!
I will concentrate on the new letter arriving and trying to ensure son gets mobility.
He was on low rate mobility with DLA but this has been removed under PIP.
Thanks again x
Just to let you know, received new MR notice yesterday. Son now has mobility
Standard for both Daily Living and Mobility. Same money as when he was on DLA.
Thanks for advice x
Phew........your post hurt my brain
I'm sorry to hear that no improvement is expected for yourself. I wish you well.
Yes, one of the first to experience "light touch" review. You'll have to let us know how it goes. Another 4 years to go yet , though
