I moved from DLA to PIP and in the process lost £25 per week, going on standard rate care on PIP having been on mid rate care and low rate mobility (I think) on DLA. I am on it for mental health (schizoaffective disorder).
I got 11 points so was just one point short. I did a mandatory reconsideration and as expected it was declined, I received confirmation of this back in April, so I have just done nothing about it for a long time. Also, my condition is stable now and I don;t see any psychiatrist or CPN, though I still receive meds. However, I recorded the assessment which was with a psychiatric nurse, and although she was friendly enough and didn't mark me down a lot, in some areas the points she awarded didn't correspond with what I'd told her.
Am I far too late to do anything about it now? I didn't want to go through the whole process again, especially as there may be a risk you can lose money however small. I got the SSCS1 form and was going to make an appointment with a welfare rights officer at the council, but never got that far.
