Hello,
Trying to assist 58 yr old brother who is in need of triple heart bypass and also is diabetic, has sleep apnea, arthritis, chronic fatigue and pain, he has multiple chronic conditions and lives alone. He can hardly walk without pain and breathlessness.

Got letter to move to pip, was given standard on both for six years.

Did MR and also sent up dated cardiologist letter on 6th Feb, got confirmation from Royal Mail that it arrived.

Received letter today dated 9th Feb, no change to standard on both but reduced award time to four years…..how.

I feel they haven’t used the new updated evidence, as it was just 4 days, but how can they justify reducing award time as well?

His cardiologist latest letter still states needs triple bypass and goes into great detail, as did the one we sent previously, but this one is more up to date.

It states they have reviewed the extra evidence, but I believe this is the evidence sent with the MR not the cardiologist up to date letter and more information sent on the 6th.

What do we do now please
