Mandatory Reconsideration more damning was created by D
Afternoon all. Gordon, thank you for your response to my last query.
I will do my best to read the guides before submitting my full appeal.
I had my assessment for pip having previously been awarded the highest rates for DLA. I have to be honest, I was surprised to get them before. I'm clinically obese and as we know, these people tend to look down on that.
Anyway, I now get the lowest in what was previously the care component and nothing for mobility. It has resulted in me losing my blue badge which in truth is my main concern, not the money. While I can walk I find it very difficult to do so. I'm always in pain and provided these people with a letter and X rays from one chiropractor and then a full EMG report from another.
I withheld on a Doctors report as it will cost me £50 and also I suspected with these quotas it would make no difference.
I now have the form (I think it's SSC1) to make the formal appeal but I see nowhere does it say to include more information. Anyone got any advice? Please forgive me if I appear to be lazy but I don't have PC at home and snatch what I can with the hour I get at my library.
Warm regards to all

The PIP 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.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip
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.
