Quick update. Unfortunately the decision maker upheld the recommendations of the medical assessor and I have been awarded std rate for both components. With severely limited mobility I feel I should definitely be awarded enhanced for that part. So now I will have to start the MR. Wish me luck!

Sorry to hear that you have not received the award you hoped for, if you need any help with the MR then come back to the forum.

I was amazed to receive my mandatory reconsideration notice today, only two weeks after sending it in.
The great news is that they have upgraded my mobility needs to enhanced! I am delighted. Unfortunately they have still awarded standard rate for daily living and the award is still only for two years. Whilst I disagree with their decision, as I’m sure I should receive enhanced and, unless there is a miracle, there is zero chance of improvement in my functional abilities, I have decided not to take the matter further. My health and quality of life is so poor I just can’t put myself through more stress. The two year award basically means I will re-assessed in a year, so I will be hoping that next time I receive the level of award I feel is correct.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information on your site. I used all your PIP advise when completing my mandatory reconsideration paperwork.

It's not great but sometimes we have to balance our health with taking the matter further, if it helps, it's unlikely that an appeal panel would have changed the length of the award, so it may make more sense to re-group and apply your efforts to the renewal when it comes.
