Hi all. Ive been on dla granted for life with mobility. Ive had my pip assesment and the decision arrived today. Ive been granted my care part but not my mobility. Since the assesment im having ohysio every 2 weeks a d now theyve given me crutches to use. I have a osteo arthritis in both knees and my spine along with numbness in lower legs and was diagnosed fibromalgia in nov. I also have asthma. Im in paun co tinuosly wether sat or stood. The lady didnt listen. Recko s i can walk 50 to 200m no pain. Lol my gp would happily give me a wheelchair. My question is can i go for appeal just on ybe mobility part or will it be the whole claim and i rusk lising my care component. Any help thanks in advance

Hello, you must request a MR within the 30 days of receiving your award letter best done by writing and giving several examples of what happened every time you do the PIP descriptor you are contesting , I am sure others will give more information regarding this as the day goes on.

@deedee55, They look at both i.e. the whole claim again. However they don't like admitting they were wrong giving you the daily living so, that, together with how strong your claim was for daily living and mobility should help you decide whether to do an MR. I didn't worry about losing what I'd got and managed to get enhanced mobility from standard rate at MR. It sounds like you have a good case for having mobility. But it's your decision. Do what's right for you.

Yes indeed, someone claiming Carers allowance for looking after you means you're not entitled to claim the severe disability premium. £64.30 per week is a lot to lose, maybe worth thinking about that person canceling the carers allowance claim.
