hello everyone I am wondering if anyone knows if you're awarded pip at the standard rate only and want to ask for an mr and then appeal so they stop your current payment while they do this ? Thanks in advance

    Your current award will continue while you appeal.  MR could either increase your award, keep it the same. reduce it, or remove it altogether.  A tribunal could do the same.  Be sure that your current award is safe before you appeal.

    Hi Matilda I've requested a copy of the assessment five weeks ago and still haven't had it so I rang them and they haven't even posted it out yet but I can't argue my case until I know what's been written but I'm sure I should have got more points

    what is the date of your decision letter ?
    Generally you only have a month to request your MR without good cause for a late request
