Pip review. I think k they made a mistake?

Have you had the decision from your PIP review? You are taking about the assessment. The Decision Manager does not always go on what the assessor said in his/her assessment when making the final decision. You will need to wait until you get the decision letter before putting in a Mandatory Reconsideration. If you are not happy with the decision you then put in a Mandatory Reconsideration.

@William19999 You say you were awarded Enhanced Rate PIP, is this for both elements - Daily Living and Mobility? Or were you awarded Enhanced Rate Daily Living and Standard Rate Mobility, which I gather is the case?

If you were awarded Enhanced Rate for Daily Living and Mobility, it would have been better to not bother with the Mandatory Reconsideration as you cannot increase your PIP award. The Mandatory Reconsideration will look at your claim again.

I gather you were awarded Standard Rate Mobility so you are trying to increase that element of your award. In this case you have done right, but your claim will be looked at again.

With a mandatory Reconsideration rarely the original decision is changed, it usually stays the same. Then you would have to go for a tribunal hearing to continue.

Thanks. I thought you were awarded Standard Rate Mobility due to where you got 0 points and the reasons you were putting forward in your MR. You have said what you cannot do, I think you have made your points clear!

HI,

I may be mistaken but if you have been told that you have a terminal illness you should automatically qualify for full PIP, ie…highest daily living and highest mobility. (there are rules associated with this, see below)

The below is from Citizens advice.

This advice applies to England. See advice for See advice for Northern Ireland, See advice for Scotland, See advice for Wales

If you have a terminal illness, you'll usually get PIP automatically. The DWP will fast-track your application - this means:

• you won’t have to fill out as many forms
• you won’t have to go to a face to face assessment
• you should get your first payment sooner

Eligibility rules if you have a terminal illness

To get PIP:

• you need to be at least 16 years old when you apply
• you usually need to be living in England or Wales when you apply
• your doctors must say you could die within 12 months 

There are extra rules you need to meet if you’re not a UK citizen.

How to claim

To make your claim, call the PIP claim line and organise for your doctor or consultant to send the DWP a medical form called a SR1.

Wishing you the very best
