Pip higher rate

andreaCarer

Hi can anyone advise me on pip rates.  My daughter Has MLD  learning difficulties she was awarded 10 points on the mobility question .  Unable to travel on a unfamiliar route .. The award was given at tribunal  in 2019 January .  Dose recent changes mean my daughter should be on the higher rate.  Thank you x

Hi @andreaCarer

You need to get 12 points for enhanced rate 

Hope this answers your question 

What are the recent changes you are referring to

HI,

It's very unlikely because the changes to following and planning a journey were made back in 2016. For the 12 points here it's familiar journies and there's a big difference between the 2.
