PIP form different to guides?

What I meant was; at the moment I am getting Low Rate care, and High Mobility. I f get what the assessor recommends I'll get no car and standard mobility. I won't have a car but will still have the same amount of money coming in (because all my mobility componet goes to motability). A the moment I don't know the exact rates but Low care is about 22 pound and standard mobility is about 22 pounds AFAIK.

If you see what I mean.

The transcription of the assessment is now finished. I have read over all 27 pages. I have also re-read the assessment report along with my medical evidence. While my application form and the medical evidence match the assessment report does not. The medical information does not match and there are differences between what was said and what was written.

I am at a loss I had heard that they lied, but I genuinely though that was the exception (me being a truthful and trusting person). I just can't believe how someone "professional could lie like this.

What can I do? I am going to have to go through the report and correct all the "mistakes", will this make any difference. What is to say they are not going to lie and say the interview took longer and that it did, and therefore claim I edited out the bits they said I said but didn't.

Are the DWP in on in or are they just happy to look the other way so long as more people who used to get GLA are stopped from getting PIP. I am in an Atos area, from what I see Capita are no better.

Cheers Gordon

I know I have not got he report yet but I am going to start (have started) my letter as there is so much to do and I fear the month in which I have to reply will soon go. Also the decision letter my be delayed because of the weather.

Going through the report it seems the assessor was more interested in my pain levels than my main problems. This may be because I have a damaged spine and legs mentioned in my medical report and this is why I got DLA back in the last century.

My main grip is that she said my wife helped me dress and put my trousers and pants on, when I only said socks and an aid or appliance. She also said I used an aid or appliance to help prepare food where I said I needed supervision. As for walking she said I could walk for a minute before needing to stop and that I could walk 40m in a minute (without seeing me walk). Where in actual fact I said I could only walk less than 20m before my angina started (which incidentally takes me about a minute).

I mentioned the back pain in relation to some activities but my main claim was that I needed supervision because of memory problems and angina and could not do others because of heart disease. Her argument was that I had no memory problems (despite doing no tests, and I guess from her training as a paramedic), and because I actually sprayed the GTN under my tongue it was no a problem!.

Sorry to go on but, I have had my Motability car for getting on towards a quarter of a century, and the prospect of being without it (getting to hospital/doctors, visiting my mother, etc.) fill me with dread. Had I been told that life did not mean life I would used my DLA to buy a car (an option under Motability when I started) father than leasing. But that is by the by now.

Hi Bruce... As Gordon pointed out, lower DLa is care £22. Whereas standard daily care on PIP is over £50,so it is not the same amount at all.
Also, even if she reckons you can walk up to 50 metres and you have points for the going out section,you will still make the higer Mobility component.
