Transferring from DLA to PIP - 0 for mobility

Have just had my DLA transferred to PIP and scored zero for mobility yet had disability from birth, still trying to prove good and bad days and the fact that I cannot walk 200 metres plus yet the assessor says I can, all rather sneaky has anyone had the same problem. 

The criteria for Standard mobility is between 20-50 metres, for Enhanced mobility it's 20 metres or less. DLA high mobility was 50 metres or less.

You now have 1 month to ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) if you don't already have a copy of the assessment report then ring DWP to ask them to send you this.

You'll need to put the MR request in writing stating what you disagree with and where you think you should have scored those points.

If you do have a PIP award be careful because they will look at the whole award again and you do risk losing everything you already have.

If you didn't send in evidence to support your claim then you'll need to send it with the MR letter. They very rarely contact anyone for evidence. The onus is on you to make sure it's sent.

If you have a mobility car from your DLA award unfortunately that will have to be returned and motability will be in contact with you soon.

Good luck.
