DWP have changed their decision!

Good morning everyone and it is a good morning!
I had a letter from the DWP stating that they had changed their decision and reinstated my higher rate of mobility back dated to February. They have cancelled the Appeal. I was in a complete state of shock and could not believe it.
I knew the DWP were wrong in their assessment and I would not have been willing to face a panel unless I felt I had a valid case.
One of my friends said that I am inspiration. No but my late mum always taught me if you feel there is injustice speak up!
So I say to everyone who feels the DWP have got it wrong, please don’t give up. It has been a strain mentally and physically for me, but they do get it wrong.
Good luck to all my fellow claimants.

Hello @Motown
That's great news! I'm so glad you don't have to go to appeal and you've been properly awarded now. Thanks for sharing.Community Manager

Yes Motown pleased for you.
Shame really that once again another assessor wasn't able to do a proper job and give a more accurate report despite hearing that assessors are highly qualified in both understanding the descriptors as well as the role of a Disability Analyst. This keeps happening far too often.
Well at least you have avoided the long wait for a Tribunal which is a good thing.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I still cannot believe the DWP changed their decision.
However, as has already been said this keeps happening.
But, as I have said before if you feel you are in the right, try to stay positive, BUT NEVER GIVE UP! -
