Or whether I will still get my high rate care low rate mobility. I am currently in the mandatory reconsideration period.
Are you in Northern Ireland?
If you are then have a look at the following, scroll down to the bottom.

If you aren't then then you will only receive a payment if you received an award of PIP.

If you have had a Decision on your PIP claim then your DLA will remain in payment for four weeks after the date of that Decision.
If you received a PIP award then this will remain in payment should you challenge the award, if you did not receive an award then you aren't entitled to any payments while you challenge the Decision.
