PIP ASSESSMENT

Hi i am 67 years old and my last pip award ended 2 weeks ago so i had to have another face to face assessment i received standard daily living and enhanced mobility with 12 points for moving around but on the day of my assessment i was unable to get out of my wheelchair when asked to walk around and the lady said not to worry and not to force myself but on the written report it stated that i was seen to walk with good balance , was the reason that this was written that she was going to give me 12 points and did not want her employer to note that i did not get out of my wheelchair in case she had a criteria to enforce

It's difficult to know why your assessor would have put that she witnessed you walking around with good balance when you didn't get out of your wheelchair. Do you feel the award you received was fair?

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
The DWP have also kept to their promise made by Amber Rudd regarding pensioners by giving me a ongoing award with a soft touch review in 10 years
