Unsure if I should request PIP MR or not

I've recently been reassessed for PIP.

I scored 8 points in both categories, which gives me the same level of benefit as I was previously on, but with less points.

For daily living. I had been on 11.

For mobility I was on 8, but 4 were for moving around and the remaining 4 were for planning and following journeys. All 8 points are now allocated in the moving around descriptor.

I have lost a point in managing a medical condition, even though I explained I needed to use a mobile app to remind me to take pills on time, exactly as in my previous assessment.

They have decided that I am not suffering from anxiety, as I did not appear anxious during the assessment. This was because my friend had driven me to the centre, spent a good hour with me prior to leaving home and generally given me the support I needed to articulate my issues to the assessor. Had I not been talked down from a potential panic attack, I don't know how I would have explained all my problems. I feel a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation. I am unable to well evidence my problem as my psychiatrist discharged me with a referral for psychologist follow up, for which I've been on a waiting list since 2016 wholly unsupported. I presume it's largely because of this that I have lost the points in the planning journeys descriptor in mobility and 2 points for engaging with other people.

Secondly the decision maker wrote that I had said I could cook if I had a stool. This is the opposite of what was said. I said that if I had a stool in the kitchen it wouldn't help as that won't fix the chronic fatigue from my sarcoidosis and that I need a chair with a back to lean on so I can control my pain effectively. Neither standing nor a stool would help. I scored two points for this descriptor, but cannot cook at all - I live on takeaways, reheated ready meals, pre-prepared salads and such. Anything that involves standing in a kitchen or at a cooker for any length of time can't be done.

I am concerned that as I am only on 8 points, changes to legislation (as was attempted recently) could put me below the threshold and I would lose money.
On the other hand, I am concerned that if I do submit my claim for mandatory reconsideration, they may decide that I have been given too many points and I lose my benefit that way.

I'd therefore like some advice of the best way to proceed.

Thanks Gordon. If a change in legislation cannot affect my award, then there is no point in rocking the boat, so to speak. That's really helpful and useful information thanks.
