I got my PIP report and it says I don't need assistance for multiple descriptors. Might apply for MR

@woodbine, I was on enhanced mobility and standard care but my needs had changed so reported a change of circumstances to DWP filled in the form had phone assessment and when I did a self test I scored 18 for care so went back over it not picking at each descriptor and still got 13 points. I need help with food preparation, dressing getting cloths ready, washing and showering hair washing, and minor other one but totally would get enhanced care or minimum standard care. What is annoying is on four descriptors because I use a mobility scooter and drive a non adapted automatic car. My car is an ex mobility car it has really light steering and super brakes I don’t know if this is standard for the car or adapted for the previous owner, it was 4 years old less than 9000 miles a service ever year so we loved the colour and the spec so did a deal, it’s a diesel euro 6 for admissions so super clean. Why the assessor a paramedic assumes that because I use mobility scooters and drive an automatic car I can prepare food and cook, or wash hair in a shower when I have balance issues due to my MS. Thanks for responding.

@janer1967, thanks for your reply it’s a very busy time all came at once, PIP assessment, Hospital phone consultations, sorting pension out. Anyway back to PIP I was receiving standard care and enhanced mobility, my report gives me 6 point daily living and enhanced mobility as before. I was on low daily living before and put in for a change of circumstances as we are required to inform DWP my needs have changed for the worst I need more help. As I now drive a non adapted automatic car and use a boot scooter and a class 3 for dog walking I have been deemed able to preform the first four descriptors.

@janer1967, thank you for your reply, I gave and put in my change of circumstances application form, but the HP noted on the first four descriptors that I can get myself into a non adapted automatic car and use two mobility scooters one a large class three and a boot scooter. I was using the same scooters but driving a manual car when I had my first F2F assessment nothing was noted or mentioned in my report to the decision maker, I was awarded the correct award notification in my opinion on each occasion. I went from standard on both to standard on daily living to enhanced in mobility as my circumstances had changed. So two years later my daily living needs have changed so I put in for a change of circumstances as my review would have been due in April 2021 and while my change was being uploaded onto the system I received like many others an extension to my award. I shall wait for the award notification letter then phone DWP and start an MR and hopefully the decision maker will call to amend the award or it will continue with a full MR then on to a Tribunal hearing if necessary. It boarders on the line of discrimination.
