Mandatory Reconsideration was created by Rose
Hi All,

I had my letter from pip come the other day saying that I've only been awarded Standard Rate and not Enhanced Rate. I have always been on High rate mobility and with the new pip rate I have fallen short by 2 points this means now that I will loose my car that I rely on for getting to appointments and other daily use of. I have written to them and asked for a Mandatory Reconsideration Notice which I sent to them on the 10 July 2017 and four days later I got a reply from them saying still Standard Rate does anybody know where I go from this ?
Any help would be grateful.

What did you score the 10 points for? Going Out, Moving Around or both?

The next stage is to appeal the Decision.

The PIP Appeal guide has links to the SSCS1 form that you will need to complete and the Submissions guide has a complete example that you can use to help you fill it in, you do not need to provide detailed reasons at this stage for your request.

Once your appeal is accepted the DWP will prepare their submission to the hearing and send you a copy, whilst you should wait until you receive this to finish and submit your own, you should start to prepare your own case, an increased award will only be made by your showing that you score the extra points for one, so I would start by going back through your PIP2, the assessment report and the PIP Claim guide to see how you might show this is the case.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
