PIP MOBILITY POINTS REDUCED FROM 12 TO 4

In 2016 my appeal succeeded and the tribunal judge ordered an INDEFINATE PIP award to me. And, if my medical conditions get worse I can issue a Supersession application.

But PIP has now reduced my Mobility points from 12 to 4. This decision was not based on my GP medical records, since no contact with my GP occured.

Made a Mandatory Reconsideration. Which Wow, well I'll never, suprise suprise, was rejected.

So, I've requested a Change of Circumstanes form, I'll issue an Appeal, and I'll make a Supersession application as well.

I must remember to add my medical conditions since 2016; Arterial Fibrillation, COPD, Emphysema, a severe Subdual Hematoma with Mass Event + Dysfunctional Cognitive Function, Double Knee Replacements, multiple Kidney Stones, Heart Problems, Memory Recall Issues, Confusion, Lack of Concentration, and Falls as well (got issued with a Falls SOS watch). But what should I expect aged 76.

I had to surrender my Motability car on 9/9/26 and my usage of buses on 11/9/26 to get some shopping using a crutch resulted in my knees giving up, and a fall at home on the kitchen floor. Never mind, I was only on the floor for 90 minutes, and my left leg will recover from the bashing on the floor in a week or so.

Well done DWP, keep up the good work identifying all the slackers who are claiming PIP.

Hi LeeJ

I am sorry this has happened to you.

After you were turned down for your MR, have you had any contact with the DWP? A case manager should have rung you and explained why they didn't change their decision. I would ring and ask to have the call. You want them to explain why they think your condition has improved and on what basis they made that decision. It will be interesting to see if they can explain it - especially as you are going to appeal.
