I was put on mirtazapine prior to my pip assessment. This is due to anxiety and ptsd which I have had most of my life. I was already on other medication long term and the new medication was added to my prescription. The MRN stated that there had been no change to my anxiolytic medication during the past 2 years, suggesting efficacy.
I told them at the assessment about my new medication, and again in the MR. I also submitted an occupational health report from my Doctor which made reference to the new medication. All was ignored and not even referred to in my MRN!
Also, the scottish government have deemed me eligible for a disabled (plus 1) bus pass, as I cannot do an unfamiliar journey alone. I mentioned this in my MR. The MRN stated that I could walk to my GP alone and again, the inaccurate statement above about no change to my anxiolytic medication, so refused me the mobility higher rate. Surely, the disabled bus pass and the change in medication should have been taken into account.
Am I in a position to goto a trinunal? Any info appreciated. Thanks
