Hi @darcieollie - I'd have a look again at the activities/descriptors that are looked at with PIP: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdfSee if you feel there's an activity where you might gain an additional point (tho there may be more than one activity where you think you might gain additional points).If you do a Mandatory Reconsideration, then it's best to put that in writing, & give a couple of recent, detailed examples as to the difficulty you face for each applicable descriptor, i.e. when did it happen, where, what happened, did anyone see this, & were there any consequences to attempting/doing an activity?
Say if you can't do an activity 'reliably,' i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, repeat as often as one would reasonably expect, or if it takes you much longer than someone without your disability. See this mentioned at the end of the link above.
It's entirely up to you whether you do a Mandatory Reconsideration, yet you have nothing to lose as its very rare for a person's current award to be reduced.

You're most welcome @darcieollie - & my best wishes if you decide to proceed with a Mandatory Reconsideration.
