I am writing looking for advice after being on high rate Pip both care and mobility for 3 years I received my letter back in regards to my review and I was awarded both standard rates I have asked them to look at my claim again,
Today I rang pip as I had not heard anything from them to be told that my claim would stay the same on the same rates.
I feel like I'm moaning because I am no longer on full rate but I can't understand why I have been given the lower rate as now I am worse then I was in the beginning I have fibromyalgia and damaged discs alongside with depression. I can no longer do the things that someone without my conditions can do.
I am thinking of going appeal but I don't know the first thing about it any advice would help many thanks

Yes, I didn't seem to get anywhere with the mandatory reconsideration so I was advised to go for an appeal ?0
