Is it worth sending pip award letter to UC?

MissKittenMeow

Hi I have recently been awarded pip (standard daily living and enhanced mobility).
Process took 3 months from first phone call until award text and I have understood that my pip journey has been rather uncomplicated compared to other posts on this forum. My problematic journey lies with uc. I filled my uc50 form in 7 months ago, had the assessment and awarded lcw and not lcwra. Got the report sent to me which was full of inaccurate information and a couple of flat out lies which I have no idea where the assessor got it from. The lies aren't even things that could have been misunderstood as I very clearly stated the opposite several times in the call. I have asked for mandatory reconsideration and sent in a "corrected" report with all other information I can think of. Is it worth sending UC the award letter as further proof of my issues? Im worried that it might just annoy them or have no influence whatsoever?

Hi there 

You can send it but they are different benefits with different criteria 

From my own experience they had no interest in fact I got pip but it won't do any harm sending a copy

It could do harm if the PIP award letter itself contains inaccuracies about the way OP is affected by their health.

One declared me physically and mentally unfit for work with PIP

That's not possible because PIP is nothing to do with your ability to work. People claim PIP and work.
