Mistake in Atos report but still awarded PIP was created by jenpen
Hi, just wondered, my son was awarded PIP after an ATOS home visit; however, after receiving a copy of the report, we noticed a mistake, two comments about his differing mobility abilities. She had stated he could walk 60 metres, although we had stated 60 FEET in our application. She re-stated this measurement in one section but in the next, she said he could walk '60 metres ....' which of course means a different points award.
Although we still got the full PIP enhanced award, should this mistake be pointed out in case it affects our future claims? Or do we just leave it as we got the top award? Thanks!

I don't see any reason to mention this; the Decision Maker had both pieces of information available to them when they made the Decision and to be honest it is very very unlikely that whoever assesses him next time will review any of the paperwork from this one.

Without wanting to cause upset, my assessor for PIP this year, had access to my ESA information as they quoted a letter that was written by my doctor for ESA, which was dated 2013.
I didn't put it in my pip application as I didn't think it was relevant!

I'm not saying that they do not have access to information about other assessments, just that it is rarely used.
