So .after scoring '0' points on Daily Living and Mobility
Going Mandatory Reconsideration
D/L 6 points
Mobility 4 points
Went to Tribunal today..and Hubby got awarded Enchanced on Both!
It will be 2 years next month..so..a long journey.
I may not have got this far ..if it were not for Mike [removed by moderator]..His advice was second to none..so a massive thank you Mike.
Also thanks to @Poppy123456 and @Chiaried..very knowledgeable and helpful.
As I said before..there are some very knowledgeable people on here giving advice...Let's appreciate them..and value their input..and breatheeeee.

That's freaky because i was litterally just thinking of you and wondered how he got on. That's awesome news!! YIPPEE! I'm so pleased he got the right decision in the end, even if it did take almost 2 years

Thank goodness he didn't change his mind and cancel the appeal!

Thanks for the kind words too!

I made sure @poppy123456 that he went through with it..He came home..happy..but totally drained..AND..Amazingly ..they decided that they had enough to go on with my paperwork alone...We did not have to speak at all!! Could not have went any better!!

Oh, I am so pleased @Justcheckingin15 - Mike sharing his knowledge has been so helpful to many people, but kudos to you for taking this onboard, & the advice of other helpful members; your paperwork really paid off! Hopefully you can both relax now. Thank you from me too for your kind words...this is what this forum's about....trying to help each other, & I always appreciate your input too.

@chiarieds..We attended in person before Tribunal..do I was totally shocked that they awarded enhanced..based on the papers before them!I was expecting to have to answer loads of questions..as the Clerk told me as Husbands Appointee..that the questions would be directed at myself(much to Hubbys relief)..but that was not even required.

..Oh...and to add yo that good news..The award length..is 'ONGOING'.

These things really shouldn’t happen. If it is obvious to a tribunal from the papers that an ongoing award of enhanced rate for both components is appropriate it is absurd that DWP have not seen fit to make any award prior to this (unless you produced new evidence for the tribunal).

Thete was 2 pieces of evidence submitted @calcotti..although the extra points awarded..were not all on that evidence...from "0' points on Daily Living.. to '22' points.
