PIP Phone Assessment

Hi Gary, got my PA4 report this morning. The assessor has indicated that I should get 8 points for daily living and nothing for mobility. The mobility part of things is what is limiting my life. I have chronic pain. She says in one part that I have more bad days than good and that on a bad day I will be in bed which is true. On a good day I could walk more than 200 metres before having to rest. Again this is true but most of the time I can’t go out because of the pain and am in bed. Should I highlight this to the decision maker or is this not enough? She has written what was said during the assessment accurately but her opinion is that I don’t meet the moving around descriptor. Should I write to decision maker or wait for award letter and then do mandatory reconsideration?

Hi I have had my PA4 report and would like to write to the decision maker as you suggested. How do I do that? I did my application on line. Where do I send my letter? I want to clarify my assessment report which didn’t highlight my mobility issues. I know you said there is a small window of opportunity for this so would like to do this ASAP!

Thanks, I phoned DWP and got the address to send my letter. They tried to say wait till decision is made but I said it was to highlight what hadn’t been put in the report by the assessor to help with the decision. I also said I wasn’t requesting a mandatory reconsideration at this time but reserved the right to do that later. I sent it special delivery today so should arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed it makes a difference.
