    Hi @Joe1999 - I'm unsure if this is relevant to yourself in Northern Ireland, but, like yourself, I was awarded 10 points for PIP's mobility component. I also had 10 points for the daily living component. I went for a Mandatory Reconsideration, putting it in writing, asking the DWP to look at the mobility component (whilst being aware that they look at the whole award). I received an additional point for the daily living component, & an additional 2 points for the mobility component. So, yes, for me my MR was successful. But, I think I'm one of the few (about 15%) that have their award increased.
    Please be aware, that your diagnoses are not taken into account. Consider 2 people with the same diagnosis, but they're most likely affected differently. So PIP is all about how your disability affects you against the descriptors relating to the daily living &/or the mobility component of PIP.
    I wish you all the best with your MR, as it seems you've applied. Please do let us know how you get on.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I think it’s the same but just looked at the points aways there and I couldn’t get another 2 points it would have to be at least 4. It’s good to know that it’s how it affects you. My GP has written a letter how my condition affects me which was not submitted on the original assessment. But as people say it will most likely go to a tribunal
