    Hi,

    I'm sorry to hear this. Was this a PIP review or a transfer from DLA?

    Has she been awarded anything at all?

    she now has 1 month from the date of the decision to request the MR. She should put this in writing stating where she thinks she should have scored those points and her reasons why. Adding a couple of examples of what happened the last time she attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to her.

    Any relevant evidence should be sent with the letter to support her claim because they rarely contact anyone for any evidence. Do be aware that most MR decisions remain the same so she'll very likely have to take it to Tribunal.

    Put your postcode into this link and it will tell you if there's any other advice agencies in your area for help and support.

    Please be aware of putting personal information here on the forums because scope is public and others will see.

    Enhanced mobility criteria for PIP is different to what High rate mobility DLA was. Although people do work and claim PIP, if the work she does contradicts the reasons for her claim then this can go against you.

    For her mobility car then motability will be in contact with her to discuss her car and possible options. There's a transitional support package that maybe available to her but it will depend how long she's been a customer with motability.
