Hi all, i recently applied for PIp as i have lost 70% of my hearing. Today i received the assesors report. It gave me 11 for care and 10 for the mobility part, i have not received the main letter from dwp as yet. Is it worth considering a MR or would they add the points on two of the things the accessors says contradicts what she said in the sentence before. One on care and one on me organising a journey.

    The report is not the decision. It's a recommendation. Although they mostly go with the report they have been known to go against it. Once the decision is made if you're not happy you can request the MR within 1 month of the date of the decision.
    Whether it's possible to score more points for a higher award will depend on exactly how your conditions affect you. As i have no idea of this then i can't advise you further. Once you have that decision you should get expert advice from an agency near you. Start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

    Thank you, if there is any background noise, even with my Ha, i can not hear anything. I will eventually go totally deaf as said the ENT Dr. I dont like going out because people stare and it makes me really anxious. I only go out if i have hubby or one of my adult children with me. Which is one thing i disagree with in her report as she says i can interact normally with people. I have never thought

    Welcome to the community @diablo76 :) Let us know when your decision letter arrives, and what it says, if you can! 

    It sounds like you have some good examples prepared if you were to need to submit an MR. But hopefully it won't come to that.

    How are you feeling today? I know it can be an anxious wait.

    I got no points for the journey part as she said there is no clinical reason as to why i would need any help. I got 10 for moving around as i have a issue with my hip. I did get points for the bath but got 2 for being helped. None for communicating with people. I did say i have no idea how much i have spent if the screen isn't shown to the customer, i hate the stares and looks people give me, so go out if i really need too.
