If I ask for a MR On my recent PIP award, could i get points taken off from the points already given, on the recent award when i ask for the MR any ideas ? as this will be looked at a case mangarer from PIP and different descion maker ? any ideas on this as my lively hood depends on this  thanks  ? also  i dont have  GPS report but use a good grip fork  which i bought from the disability aid shop and have proof of this ? i would like a simple explanation instead of a link given to me as i am disabled and dont understand links in what they say  as it doesnt relate to my initail question  any ideas  thanks ? this realtes to the care component  as i only scored 10 points  but never got any in taking nutriion descripter as i need to use a good grip fork there no evidence from my gp that i have arthritus in my right hand hand as i am waiting for an Xray on my hands fingers i only scored 4 points in mobility  as its says i need to use an aid but can move 50/200 metres this is untrue i can only move 20/50 metres and have to stop because of the pain and right hip catching  any ideas ?

    Hi @tonyuka11

    Putting in a mr can result in a reduction of your claim as the while decision is looked at again.  However this is a rare occurrence 

    You really need to look at the descriptors to see where you would score more points

    Using the fork you describe would not in my opinion give you any more points for nutrition as you can use this yourself , dont require assistance or feeding 

    You may score more for mobility you need to give examples of when you tried to walk what happened , where were you   how far b4 you had to stop , how long the pain lasts,  how does it affect you after walking , what aid you use , how do you get around the house 

    I would strongly advise you get some expert help with the mr completion and contact welfare rights
