MR after new ruling.

Hi. The new ruling for mental health regarding planning journeys and mobility etc. 

The government said they would review every case. I was awarded 10pts initially for mobility part in 2015 for ten years. I also get high care.
The mobility part was reviewed as promised but stayed the same. 

I received the letter a few months ago. I’ve been very unwell mentally and have just been told I could have asked for an MR without my care component being affected. Is this true? If so is it too late to ask for an MR? I’ve always felt the decision was wrong. I don’t know what to do next. Please help. Thankyou in advance.

Hi,

Are you sure they looked at your claim again for the rule changes? You said you were awarded in 2015. They are only looking at claims again that had a decision on or after 28th November 2016. Decisions made before that date will not be looked at again.
