PIP Tribunal

Hi mosala, I am in a similar position, having received 13 points for daily living and 4 points for mobility. I too have OCD plus other problems, I am severely restricted travelling wise, cannot get into taxi, on bus etc, I can go nowhere beyond a short walk to town, but failed to meet the descriptors it seems. I am not as brave as you, so think am sticking rather than twisting MR wise. But hope you get through your appeal with a good result, and would appreciate it if you could post on here how you get on.

Hi Cruella
I only got 12 points Daily Living, but I feel it should have been higher. Yes I took a risk because I strongly think I qualify for mobility 12 points. They didn't look at unreasonable time, repeatedly, etc. In fact they did not look at anything. I don't think they read it at all.

I am speaking with CAB on Tuesday to see what they think first. My OCD is severe and going out is a nightmare.

Have you spoken with CAB? You have already scored higher than me. Maybe you could go for it?

OK so if I were to go ahead and still appeal, even though they warn me I may not get Daily Living and then I lose Daily Living - am I able to appeal against the Daily Living bit again, (after the Tribunal) because it would be on new grounds, seeing as I have already managed to get 12 points, twice? In other words can it then be taken to the Ombudsman?

Hope this makes sense!
