Pip review - Award decreased

Hi

Just a quick update.


I rang dwp/pip today to enquire if my Mandatory Reconsideration request letter and additional evidence had all been received correctly by them.

A customer service adviser told me on the phone that my mandatory reconsideration had been logged onto their system and filed under 'tasks'

I asked him what he meant by 'tasks' and he said not to worry about it and that he would now 'register' my MR onto their system.

Out of confusion, I thanked him and hung up the phone without asking him to explain.


What do 'tasks' and 'register' mean in relation to a pip mandatory reconsideration?

I have never heard of these terms and wording before?

OK thanks Gordon.

I received a text message this morning from DWP. It reads;-

"You've asked us to look at our recent PIP decision again.
We will write to you once we've done this.
As a guide you should hear from us within 6 weeks.
You don't need to contact us unless any of the details you gave us have changed.
Thank you."

I have a question please -

Who looks again at this recent decision?
Is it a Case Manager or a Decision Maker?

thanks

Hello to everyone.

UPDATE

I have received my Mandatory Reconsideration Notice with some good news and have been partially successful.

I have been awarded and had reinstated my Enhanced Daily Living but still no Mobility award.

Strangely, my daily living descriptors, where previously the points had been taken away and that I disputed and sent further evidence at MR stage were not changed or reversed in my favour.

But, instead I was awarded 4 points under another descriptor 'Making budgeting decisions' which I was not disputing and never sent any evidence to support this descriptor. How odd? And strange decision making?

Fortunately, this now takes my score to 14 points for enhanced daily living. I am very pleased with this.

Unfortunately, I still received no mobility award.
No points for Planning and following a journey and no points for Moving around.

I feel strongly that I should have scored points in both these mobility areas as I explained in detail how I meet the criteria and supported my claim with lots of medical evidence.

I have some questions.

1 Should I appeal the decision at Tribunal based on not receiving any mobility award?

2 Can I appeal against the Mobility part only or will the whole award be looked at by a Tribunal?

3 Is my Daily living award at risk of being taken away by challenging the Mobility part?

Many thanks
