Hi everyone. I hope you are well. So i applied for pip just before Christmas and a couple of weeks ago after having a telephone assessment i was told that I was awarded standard mobility rate but I only got 6 points for daily living allowance. I have just sent off my mandatory reconsideration letter which my daughter had to do for me. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone has been successful with a mandatory reconsideration?

Hi and welcome
The success rate at Mr is quite low but it does happen and several posts on here with successful outcomes if you look in the pip section1 -

Thank you i really hope they reconsider and give me the extra points, but I'm not expecting them to. I got 6 points. I don't think I can go through a tribunal,it's too stressful and exhausting ?.0

hi there I was awarded 8 points for daily living and 4 points for mobility in February , I sent away a letter asking for MR not expecting anything to change and that I was going to have to go to a tribunal as I believed I should have been awarded enhanced living and at least standard mobility , then three weeks ago I received a phone call from dwp who went through my MR letter with me and discussed where and why I should have been awarded more points after about twenty minutes on the phone the lady I spoke to told me she had awarded me enhanced living and enhanced mobility and apologised for not being awarded them in the first place I couldn’t believe it x1

Ah that's fantastic news for you. ?. I'm not getting my hopes up. I got 10 points for mobility so i get standard mobility. And i was awarded 6 points for daily living allowance. I just have to wait now.0

@Caz_Scope i definitely will. I honestly don't think that they will change their decision. I didn't send in any evidence with my mandatory reconsideration letter because it would of taken too long to get a letter from my Dr's surgery due to the pandemic and the fact I don't have an actual dr, my old dr left and now it's a case of you see whatever dr is available. Plus in the decision letter it stated due to your medical history etc so I assume they have been in touch with my surgery. I will definitely let you know what the outcome is. Fingers crossed they give me the extra points. The thought of going through a tribunal is making me so anxious and I don't think I can go through it. ?
