PIP result....laughable!

I have gone from low rate care dla to enhanced pip and high rate mobility dla to standard pip. This is despite my illness deteriorating and my mobility getting worse. It took me 4 weeks to fill in the pip form and gather all my supporting evidence, including letters proving that my disability has deteriorated. I was given a home assessment and apart from walking to the front door to open it, I sat at my dining table and only got up to ease my pain, leaning heavily on my walking stick. The assessor has put that I was observed walking at a slow pace with normal gait and that I am able to walk from room to room in my house....dining table to front door is 8.5ft and whole length of my house is 28ft from back to front!!

I telephoned them immediately to say I wanted a mandatory reconsideration, but now worried that they may make me worse off. Can anyone advise? Feeling so worn out with it all

Hi Gordon.
So...report arrived today I cannot believe my eyes!
One part says I walked with altered gait then another says I had normal gait. Says that I walk with crutches, when I clearly stated on my claim form that its too painful on my hands and shoulders to use them. States that I was physically examined (giving the findings) when I was not. States that I can plan a journey when I said on form that I cannot.
My neighbour let herself in during the assessment to see if I wanted a hot drink. She stood by me for little more than 3 minutes before leaving. The assessor has stated that 'her neighbour popped in and handed her an envelope which she was able to hold in her left hand, indicating a good grip'...outright lies....so so angry....and so it goes on. But the crazy thing is, it states that I cannot bend my left knee, unable to straighten leg, hip rotation reduced and power in left leg significantly reduced...result....able to walk 20-50 metres
To top it all, the report was carried out by someone claiming to be a paramedic. First page shows one name as the 'professional' carrying out the consultation then another name on the last page, so not sure who the assessor was even! Obviously a paramedic who has expert knowledge of:
Lupus
Fibromalgia
Sjorgrens
Arthritis
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Sciatica
Deafness/tinnitus/hypercusis
Hypothyroidism
......and high blood pressure ta boot

Can you give me some advice on the best way to go about a reconsideration Gordon?

Many thanks in advance....really dont know what I would do without this site!

......also just to add....I have been awarded 10 points for mobility.....I thought you could only get 8 or 10??
