Hello all: Sister was on enhanced Care and standard Mobility, having just been reviewed after that initial four-yr award (as others have observed, not four when the review is a full yr in advance!) She received a face-to-face as part of the review, which has taken nearly four months.
Result: has kept enhanced Care (15 pts) but lost standard Mobility (4 pts).
Am appealing the lost Mobility for her with the help of the site. I know some people lose the lot at review, so she is grateful for small mercies, but if anything her Mobility has deteriorated since the last award, so this is disappointing.
My understanding for Benefits & Work is that Mobility seems to have been targeted for cuts...
Best wishes to all applying for PIP and awaiting results. My sister (and I!) was very stressed by the process, which appears to have aggravated her mental ill-health.
