Pip mobility question was created by june2016
Hi,
I recently sent my pip review form back (late December) I haven't heard anything back as yet. Since filling in the form I've seen a physiotherapist and I'm actually a little better with my walking now, not loads better , I still have problems ,but I think I should change what I put on the form.
What's the best way to do this? Should I write to dwp or wait and explain at my assessment?

If you are sure that your condition has improved and that the change is sustainable then you should contact the DWP with information about how you are now affected.
I would recommend that you send the letter by a tracked post so that their is a record of it's delivery.

My walking has definitely Improved but I'm not sure about it being sustainable?
Also I'm not clear what criteria I would meet now..if any
I can now walk unaided more than 20m but less than 50...after that I need my stick and my partner to hold onto and support me.
With his help I can walk 200m ..on a rare good day further
I don't know if I should get 0, 4 or 8 points?

What were you assessed as being able to walk?
If the points you would now reasonably expect to score is less than what you were awarded, then you really have no choice, you must report the improvement to the DWP so that they can reassess you.

I haven't actually been assessed for the mobility part of pip before as this is the first time I've had to claim the mobility element , I've only ever needed to claim the care element before.
I've had a letter today, my assessment will be on the 28th.
I'm just wondering what points I should score, if any.

If you don't have an award for the Mobility component then it doesn't really matter if your walking has improved, unless the change has also meant that your ability to complete the Daily Living activities has also improved.
