Been awarded daily living but not mobility. Is there much chance of them changing their mind?

Hi everyone I have just received my pip award and I have been giving standard daily living. But I have scored 0 on the mobility section but I feel that's one of my main problems as I can't go outside without my partner with me as have crippling panic attacks and my partner drives me everywhere and has to be with me where ever I go holding my hand. It started with a fear of public transport but has become worse and worse and now I can't even take my kids to and from school or go with them to the park I only go out if I have to. But they said I can plan and follow journeys unaided. I am thinking of doing a mandatory consideration (if thats the name) with a few examples of of how it effects me and with a letter from my councillor.
 I guess my question is is there much chance of them changing there mind, or taking away the standard daily living? As the anxiety going through this process has been unbelievable which I'm sure you all know. First Post so sorry for long message thanks you.

I know how you feel, i was down graded on my assessment, when i was actually worse, but to worried to appeal again, in case they took the lot. Obviously our condition isnt the real criteria for the claim, just who's dealing with it. Apart from the fact that they keep moving the goal posts.

Hi there 

Sorry you feel your award isnt correct 

It is up to you if you feel it is worth appealing . The success rate for mr isnt that good but it is more successful at tribunal stage 

You may want to get some advice from welfare rights

Update - I put in a MR and have just had a phone call and they are giving me standard mobility so it was definitely worth putting the MR in. Thank you everyone
