Hi, I thought I would provide an update on my PIP claim. I was originally awarded standard rates for both elements. I submitted a mandatory reconsideration because the medical assessment was flawed and I was under awarded. I should have been given enhanced rates for both.
My MR came back with a few more points awarded but still not enhanced rates so I started the appeal process. The DWP rang me last week to say after a “revision” I have been awarded enhanced rates for both daily care and mobility.
I’m relieved I don’t have to attend a tribunal now but I do wish they had done their job properly in the first place.

Hi Shopdoll, That's great news! Thank you for your update. Yes, it is certainly very annoying that you get the award eventually, but have to fight for it. However, your tenacity paid off. Well done! LL26
