Only you can decide what to do because we don't know how your conditions affect you. MR success rate is about 50% but that's falling. Have you got some expert advice? If not then start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

Hi @skhan95,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, PIP is not my area of expertise and I am hoping someone else with more knowledge about this can help. However, in the meantime, my personal view is that anything is worth applying for especially if you already know you should be eligible for it. You will only get it by applying. The worst that can happen is that they reject your application and you can appeal. I can hear you are worried about losing the daily living part but your needs related to daily living are most likely going to be the same so it should not be affected by following up about your mobility. I hope this helps! However, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know. You are also more than welcome to share your progress with us if you would like to

Yes my support worker downloaded the form and gave me to send them but at the same time he made me nervous as well saying they can take current award as well
Although I'm 100% sure I'm eligible for mobility as well whatever i said to the nurse during assessment she didn't write a single word just gave me 4 points for moving around which is not fair I cannot plan any journey without another person to even familiar places I dnt know what should I do I'm getting depressed so badly :-(
Please if someone give me some advice I'm so confused

It isn't the assessors job to write down what you say

They listen to what you say and form their own opinion on how your functionality affects you against the descriptors

It's been said many times before that the HCP isn't there to write everything you say verbatim, if they were then there would be no point in having the assessments in the first place. They are there to gather more evidence to write the report, which is based on their opinion.

Based on very little information about your conditions it's not possible to tell you whether you would score more points for the mobility award. Have you used the link i posted above to see what advice agency is near to you? If you haven't then you need to do that, this way you will be able to tell them more about your conditions, how your affected and advise whether you're entiteled to any mobility award.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get the score you were hoping for @skhan95.

Are you able to think of a couple of good examples that demonstrate why you should have scored higher? It might be worth taking another look at the PIP descriptors and thinking of ways you could strengthen your evidence.

Ultimately it's your choice whether you decide to submit an MR. I appreciate that it can be more difficult when you're feeling low and anxious. You've mentioned that you've been feeling depressed, have you spoken to your GP or another medical professional about that?
