    Sorry SPA? You now have 4 weeks in which to request an MR (mandatory reconsideration), in doing so you need to highlight why you think you should have scored points and didn't, a different DM will look at your application, but if that fails you will need to appeal, if you need more help just ask, and btw welcome to scope.

    Hi @dawn64 - Welcome to the community. I'm sorry you're having difficulty with your PIP claim. Was this after having been on DLA for 12 years? Were you awarded any points for either component? Please do as suggested above, & perhaps looking at the descriptors in the following link may also help, then you can see the points for any relevant activity. See: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Scores-for-PIP-Descriptors-2020.pdf
