Hi all, I've just been told on the phone I've been awarded enhanced care component. I've a few questions.
1. As I'm over 65 does that mean my award is 10years as I heard this may be the case but the exact details people are unsure of.
2. I currently get a bit extra pension credits for low mobility DLA as I'm moving now to pip enhanced care do I still get this and if so will it be the same more or less.
3. My son has schizophrenia and lives with me im receiving 32 PW in pension credits for him does affect anything.
Thanks in advance

I rang a few places and they seem unsure too

It's all very confusing and the pip people weren't helpful on phone

HiWas this a change from DLA ?There are two elements to PIP, you have been told that you are to get the enhanced daily care but have you been given the mobility element as well ?Once you reach SRA, the mobility award you have ( if any ) cannot be increased in the future.The length of your award will be on the decision letterBe all you can be, make every day count.

It was a transfer from DLA I was on low mobility. I got zero points mobility but 15 care. This is despite getting taxis everywhere.
I don't want to appeal incase I lose points. As I wasn't expecting to get exhanced care. -
If you accept the decision not to award you the mobility element then you cannot receive it in the future even if your needs change.You should seek trained advice from an agency near you, CAB, Wellfare rights, Age UK etcBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
