I'm so stressed about my decision on pip, I was on high rate care and low mobility on dla but pip gave me low rate care nothing for mobility. I had an esa assessment 2 weeks before who rated me severely disabled ? I'm lost

Hello dawn and welcome
Alas this is not uncommon
The first thing to do is ask for a copy of the assessment report
Then you need to ask for a mandatory reconsideration within a month of the date on your decision letter.
It is important to understand the points system, the descriptores and the criteria for a PIP award which is different to DLA. A good starting place is the self test on the B&W site

There is lots of info on here aboutPIP and the appeals process. Please have a look around and come back with any questions
