PIP lowered

Hi. I am on pip. Last year i was on the enhanced daily living allowance, and lower mobility allowance. I have severe epilepsy, myoclonic jerks, 2 crushing discs in lower back, and fibromyalgia. Around September last year, i had a bad fit which has caused both my knees to move in and out. I have a full time carer as i can't be left alone. When i wrote to PIP, then sent same form to fill in, and an assessor came out. And now im on lower daily living allowance, and no longer on mobility. I've asked for mandatory reconsideration, that was refused. But I'm really not sure on what to do with regards to an appeal????

Other people more knowledgeable about the process will be along to chat with you in due course and, in the meantime, if there is anything else you want to tell us or to ask us, please don't hesitate to do so.
Warmest best wishes to you,

To start the tribunal appeal you need to submit form SSCS1 with basic reasons for your challenge
Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?
This will show you what areas you need to challenge
Also have a look at the B&W self test
