Hi all I’m a newbie, and have used the information on this site to help with my first review. My first question relates to timescales - I completed the review forms in April, had my face to face mid July and apart from a holding letter at the beginning of August saying they had all the information, I have heard nothing. I phoned and they said they were “ abit behind and were prioritising new claim(fair enough!) but having read a copy of the ATOS report, I think they may increase my award. will this be backdated and to when? I had previously been on lower rate mobility but the physiotherapist I saw has marketed my walking ability to 1-20 meters. I marked my review as 20 - 50 meters ( I am rubbish at Distances!) I can see from the comments she watched me as I left and saw me “have a rest” after 20 meters! Are they likely to go by what she recommends? Seems odd if they do as I ticked the “more able” box Anyway I think I’m in for a waiting game. I have had to reduce my working hours to 12 weekly so an increase would be nice, I really need to pay someone to do some cleaning for me!! Thanks in advance for your replies
