hi. My husband has been on DLA since 1992, In June he had to
fill in a for for PIP. He went for a medical in July, got a decision in August
decision being High Rate for Mobility Low rate Care. However this is for only 2 years 8 months. I sent in more evidence from go & hospital occupational therapist on the 20th August received a letter back on 21st
August saying it has not changed the decision. Is it worth going to appeal. Also will this get reviewed before July 2021.

Are you appealing for a longer award length or a higher daily living rate from standard to Enhanced? Most MR decisions remain the same but you really should get further advice because no one here can tell you what to do because no one knows how he's affected by his condition.
Reviews are done 1 year before the award is due to end, so if it ends 2021 review will be July 2020.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Will he have to go for another medical because the last one took 2hrs 45mins. He has fractured his back and has arthritis .Also he can’t control his Bowles most of the time
and he got no points for this? -
Most reviews have another face 2 face assessment yes but it's not a medical. It's rare to have a paper based assessment.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @tarradisturb,
If you are considering an appeal, we have lots of information about appealing a DWP benefits decision on our website which you might find useful.
As @poppy123456 says, getting some further advice may be helpful. Have you considered contacting your local Citizens Advice?

What about any other disability advice centre near you, welfare rights for example? You didn't say if its the actual award you're disputing or the length of the award?I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

I have a damaged spinal cord, non-healing spine compression fractures, insulin dependant diabetes, osteoarthritis etc etc. After 23 years on DLA Mobility High - awarded for life, I have been ordered to attend a PIP assessment. Apparently you can fix a damaged spinal cord (but no doctors know the secret). I fully expect to end up with a limited time award because basically that's how the company carrying out the medicals makes its money.
