Thanks for your advice. Just contacted the DWP PIP department yesterday and found out that they awarded me the standard rate for daliy living but none for moblity. I'm happy I had some success at the mandatory reconsideration stage. I will be appealing further to the tribunal stage regarding I should be receiving enchanced rate for both daliy and living. If I appeal to tribunal I will carry on receiving my current award that has been awarded.
Thanks
