They should explain why they have chosen the Descriptors they have but they are not required to follow the recommendation of the assessor if they think that it is not supported by the evidence and the law.

My question is do the DWP have to show why they have not gone with the reports recommendations or can they just basically do what they want . thank you annedw

The DM is very unlikely to argue with the length of the award.

I am not aware of any statistics about this, all I can say is that we have seen it happen.

Hi Just to let you know I got my PIP decision yesterday .I got standard care 8 points and enhanced mobility 12 points until 6 april 2019. I do know they start it again a year earlier. Thank you for all your wonderful help I really don't think I could have done it without you all . It took 6 weeks to get my decision and I live in Lancashire,if anyone is waiting in this area .I wish all of you still going through it good luck, you will get there in the end xxx
