Hi I have a award revue coming up in march 2021 ,I live in scotland  , on my previous PIP award letter  I was given enhanced care and low rate mobility but have just found out  on the back of the old PIP award ;letter with heading MY DECISION ,from DWP ,YOU SAID YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY PLANING AND FOLLOWING A JOURNEYS YOU ATTENDED THE ASSSESSMENT ALONE ,, this is incorrect as my assessment was done at home  by a ATOS nurse as i have sever disabilitys is there anything i can do  to complain or get some form of compensation  from the DWP because either the ATOS nurse lied or the DESCION MAKER, any ideas what my solution is to this problem  i would point out I do not have a copy of my medical assessors report from the DWP  and also i am on ESA  if i complain to the DWP will i still get my ESA and PIP i have been put on A Covid 19 extension of my PIP until spetember 2021 as my original PIP award expires on january 2021 until i get my PIP award revue  assessed i would like some professional advie thanks  ?

    If you want to challenge a decision you have to request a Mandatory Consideration. This should be done within one month of the decision but can be done up to 13 months from the date of decision. After that you are out of time.

    I’m not sure I’m seeing any “lie” there at all. Whether you travelled or were seen at home you attended an assessment. If you were the only person there then you attended it alone and so the whole statement would be accurate.

    Either way it was something to challenge by MR as already described. There is no claim for compensation here at all at present as you would have to show a loss. 

    Firstly, you can’t show any loss until the award is revised upwards.

    Secondly, even if it is revised upwards that doesn’t really mean anything. Nobody else gets compensated simply because they find grounds to successfully challenge their decision.
