Hi mel and welcome
Have you asked for the assessment report ?
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
mel106,
So sorry to hear that you didn't get the result you needed.
Are you going to do a Mandatory Reconsideration?
This video is a good starting place:

We're here to support you with any questions you have. -
apparently in law you have a year to do mandatory consideration-as told to me by PIP office!

@mel106
Don't despair. After transfer DLA/PIP my award was reduced from DLA highest care and higher mobility to standard PIP both components. At tribunal my award was increased to enhanced both components.
Assessors and DWP have an agenda to award as little PIP as possible whereas tribunals are impartial and only interested in the truth. -
hi thanks guys cud not sleep last night with worry i should get letter today then ill ring em and get them to look at it again x
-
thanks that video is helpful
-
so when i ring i ask them to send me there report do i as id like to see wat points they given x

hi Mel
gird you lions so to speak--
for me this meant getting my docs letter £14 pounds and a physiotherapist report ( even if you go to a brand new one) mine £80 my partners £37.
Let them ( physio and GP) know each area that PIP score on
then if possible get the physio to comment on these aspects-also let your dr know the areas PIP look for.
I let my doc have my own scoring for each section-they then wrote to support this and highlighted some areas'
So yes you have to tutor your GP and Physio what it is they need to write re all the domain areas-which is a new task for a layperson
I get critized here for mentioning the costs of such medical evidence.
This is an argument that gets very stale. I am just saying what has worked for me.
The above may help significantly at mandatory review.
It does mean you guys will have to do some leg work-and be strategic.
You have two months before you car pick up date-and this maybe time if you are quick to get your evidence to mandatory review-and the decision over turned-and car still with yu. Or if not in time get another motability car when it all comes thro for you again
Dont get down-get active!
regards
Peter

thanks peter will do im fighting this x

promise you will get a dr report
and if you partners has physical disability
you will get a physiothreapist
yup it can cost up to 60 or £100 quid
but just offset that against not getting enhanced daily living and and enhanced mobility
so dont get down
just get angry and fight it all the way back
I cant stress the importance of paper evidence
If if when you ring them- you will let off steam- but crucially ist the further evidence which is critical
and remeber
who ever you get to write further evidence- lets them see the score items and sheet PIPs use
so they write their report and mirror what pips want info on?
tell me you have got it?
to my shame I have never lost an appeal for friends and neighbours-as a consultant psych
so won about 9

Hi Mel
Phone ASAP for the HP?????? report and they have to send it to you. Look at the probable lies on it and compose your reply to each activity in order saying why it is wrong, don't play down on the effects of the activities on daily life. Make sure you state the disabilities affect on all days the same as they try to make out you have good and bad days and mark you down on this. Send it back ASAP Recorded Delivery,and get CAB on your side as well, they are a great help. The Mandatory Reconsideration will probably say the same as the original decision as the decision makers at DWP are not Health Professionals. When you have the result of the Reconsideration then request an Appeal which can take a long time. I have been waiting nearly 6 months! If appeal is OK they have to backdate all money from the decision date.
Don't give up as thats what DWP want, a lot of people to drop out.

hi guys well got the letter here we 4 points short to high for both been on phone waiting for a call back to speak to someone about the points then they will decide again few points he got 0 for which i think needs to be 1 or 2 lol....so hopefully they may come back say yes then no apeal all this worry stress over 4 points x
-
hi Mel push your points up
with written evidence
this is the way to enhance your points
I may be wrong -but telephone calls go no where
Get your mandatory review going- then your letter to an MP-
but get the evidence for the mandatory review-signed sealed delivered ( recorded post)
The price for the medical evidence will be dilly squat compared to wining an enhanced award in both domains
