@jeana1 If the assessor recommended 12 points or more for mobility you're on your way to higher mobility which would mean you qualify for a Motability car. But that's not the final decision. You have to wait and see if the DWP decision maker agrees with the assessor but mostly they do so fingers crossed for you. It'll be a brown envelope from the DWP that will be the Decision. X

Hi @jeana1
Is it just the Atos assessor's report that you have so far received - or have you also received the DWP case worker's award decision letter? -
Hi just a copy of assessors report..which is ok ...at the end she declared a lot of positive things...inc i can only walk up to 20 metres...didnt agree tho on sm things...but hoping the 20 metres will be ok to keep mobile..
-
Hi only rec copy atos assessors report...shes put i can only walk 20 metres ...not even that sm days!! So hoping thats ok to keep me mobile at least...and also needs aids to cope in my bungalow....hope it will be ok...thanks
-
My son reckons if i cant even walk 20 metres then i shud get the high rate for mobility?
-
Yes, but you have to wait for the DWP case worker's letter for confirmation. The assessor's report isn't enough - though usually the DWP just rubber stamp what the assessor has said.

Thanks Matilda..

There's no timescales for any decision. The letter you received is just a standard letter they send everyone but decisions can still take 8 weeks, sometimes longer.Have you requested a copy of the assessment report from DWP? This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.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.

Hello @Dante. I'm sorry to read your award has been lowered. Yes, you can continue to have someone claim Carer's Allowance for you while on the standard rate.Community Manager

@Adrian_Scope thank you they stopped my pension credit too is this correct do you know as soon as i went from enhanced to standard in daily living ? Thank you so much for your help
-
@Dante it shouldn't have affected your pension credit at all. You'll need to ring pension credit first thing Monday morning.
