need MR for PIP- they ignored assessors report.

Emily

You will need to wait for the Decision Letter to understand why the DM has not awarded the same points as the assessor.

Have a look at our PIP MR & Appeal guide in the PIP area, there is also a Submissions document that has template letters that you can use.

Your SD Premium should not be affected as long as you have an award of the Daily Living component, but if you receive the Enhanced Disability Premium then you may lose this unless you are also in the ESA Support Group.

when I phoned this morning they said there wouldn't be any backdating. is this correct?

many thanks,
Emily.

I'm afraid it is, you did not report a Change of Circumstances so the Decision will apply from the date it is made.

It's not complicated

There's a template letter in the Submissions document, just copy it and amend it for your circumstances.

You need to explain why you disagree with their Decision. This will consist of your doing two things;

- Explaining why you meet the Descriptors to score and
- why the assessor's opinions are incorrect

Whilst an inaccurate report is almost certain to have played a part you also need to consider whether you have properly explained your problems in your claim form, is it possible that you have misunderstood the Descriptors, described your problems in terms that do not match the Descriptors or failed to make appropriate use of the reliability criteria or the need for your limitations on the majority of days to be considered?
