Just as an update for anyone following - I found out I went from 8 points on both to 14 on Daily Living and 22 on Mobility! I received my letter a few days after I had the phone call with PIP, I was shocked I got so many points on Mobility especially as most of my issues stem from ME/CFS and POTS and I am aware it is difficult to get many for Mobility due to the nature of the illnesses.

If anyone would like a breakdown of the points I scored please let me know :)

    Well done laurapeach
    Did you go to a tribunal? Or was this the result of a Mandatory Reconsideration?
