Mobility cancelled after assessment for PIP was created by Sairs
Hi, I'm new to this forum and have recently had an assessment for PIP from DLA and it's been awful. After 7 years of higher rate mobility they've now said I'm not entitled because they saw me walk 10 metres to the assessment room and while it was slower than normal it did not show that I cannot walk more than 20 metres and the fact that I attend a slimming club on a Wednesday evening means I'm not entitled to a car.
I've now got to go for a manual reconsideration. I sent 25 pieces of evidence in detailing every part of my illnesses with more than enough evidence. The assessor asked me what kind of day I was having and I said it was an ok day but she struggled to type and wasn't detailing everything I wrote.
I need to go through my evidence as I can challenge everything I have written and true excuse not to give me any points but in between that I'm going to have to stay at home and use PTS to get to my appointments because my family work shifts and my mum who has finished work to care for me does not have access to a car full time. I've read lots and lots of appeal letters that have been sent in and am willing to fight this all the way but should I be taking this personally or are they trying it on with all applicants and can anyone offer any reassurance please.
Thank you
Sarah

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
It's not personal but I can understand why it might seem that way.
PIP, unlike DLA has very specific criteria that need to be met, this is particularly the case for the Moving Around activity where an award is based on the distance that your can reliably walk on the majority of days.
Have a look at out PIP Claim guide for a better understanding of the criteria that you are being asked to meet. The PIP area also has documents that will help you with your MR and if necessary an appeal.

If you have any specific questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
