Hi I posted last week about a mc... I've done it sent it off.....I just wondered if what got said on the phone has ever happened to anyone..
I got awarded pip 21st November 2019(that was when it was backdated from as I started the application process that date)
At the time I got 10 points for care so was awarded standard.
I didn't know much about pip and just trusted the descion maker at the time.
I have since sent in a change of circumstances thing and was awarded standard mobility and given an extra point making it still standard for care....but it said I got no points for communication and if you saw my other post, I thought I should have got 2 points as I where hearing aids.
Anyway I spoke to a woman today and she said I was right I should get the 2 points as wearing hearing aids in both ears qualify s for 2 points... I said well if that's right, I've lost out on over 2 grand, as I said in the original claim I wore them.
She said if this mandatory reconsideration is successfully. I will get all the money back from when I first claimed....has that actually happened to anyone because I was under the impression you had a maximum of 13 months the challenge a descion. (Unless it because I didn't actually get the decision for the original pip claim till March 2020 but end of April would be the 13month wouldn't it )
