Hi,DLA and PIP are different benefits. PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.As you were refused PIP your DLA will stop in approximately 4 weeks time. For the PIP you have 1 month from the date of the decision to request the Mandatory Reconsideration. You should put this in writing stating where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Adding a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.You should send any evidence you have with the letter to support your claim because they rarely contact anyone for this.Do be aware that most MR decisions remain the same so you'll very likely have to take it to Tribunal. Appearing in person will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour.If you haven't got a copy of the assessment report, i'd advise you to ring DWP to request this. Good luck.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.
