Hi, having received my mandatory reconsideration notice, still standard rate with daily living needs & nothing for mobility. I received this letter dated 19.4.17 feel really worried I told the hp I could not plan a journey use public transport go shopping and about my pain when walking/sitting. In the decision letter she said I could as did the person who did the reconsideration. I did say in my letter these things it dose not appear this letter or how your disability affects you form was even considered. I need to send my appeal off now can anyone offer advise Thank you bam.
The PIP Appeal guide has links to the SSCS1 form that you will need to complete and the Submissions guide has a complete example that you can use to help you fill it in, you do not need to provide detailed reasons at this stage for your request.
Once your appeal is accepted the DWP will prepare their submission to the hearing and send you a copy, whilst you should wait until you receive this to finish and submit your own, you should start to prepare your own case, an increased award will only be made by your showing that you score the extra points for one, so I would start by going back through your PIP2, the assessment report and the PIP Claim guide to see how you might show this is the case.
If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
