PIP Review and LEAP

I made my pip application on 27/5/2020. I had my decision letter on 22/10/30, this was during lock down. I was awarded basic rate of pip. On the .on the mobility element I was awarded 2 points but 0 of going out and planning a journey. I explained on my form, that I didn't go out unless it was with someone I knew, and I did not receive that component. As it was during lockdown I didn't have a telephone assessment. I was so unwell, the worst I've ever been, I didn't even think to challenge it, and still haven't I just excepted. I had a telephone assessment, and I just cried throughout, I was so distressed. The HCP asked me if I was always emotional, I replied "only when I'm very stressed". If I'm awarded any mobility component, how can dispute the fact I should have been awarded this from my original claim?. I've heard of LEAP but how do I request this?. I'm aware there is the MR but I know I would get way to stressed out. I'm being treated/ undiagnosed ( waiting for psychology) for bipolar type two, mood stabilizers, anti- psychotics,, anti-depressants, and anixety medication, it helps to a certain extent, but I forget to take meds, I forget to order & pick them up. If I have to go through a whole process to fight I don't think I could do that, but at the same time, it will play on my mind and cause stress because I know I will get fixated. Any help, advice, support would be very, very welcome, hope you can help me 🙏🙏🙏

For the decision that was made in 2020 then you are out of time to do anything about that now as the maximum time limit is 13 months.The leap review will not apply in this case because all the PIP regulations were updated by that point and all decisions should not have been affected by this. There's a very good thread on rightsnet all about this. See link. https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthread/18298/#86814Once the decision is made on this review if you're not happy you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration, followed by Tribunal if needed.

Hello @sahra50
I see Poppy has advised. I just wanted to comment and check in you have support around you? I was concerned to read that you can forget to take meds and pick them up. It would be worth asking your local pharmacy if they have a delivery service to help support you0 -
I'm okay, thanks for asking1
