Change for DLA to PIP was created by munz
If my old DLA was middle rate care low rate mobility and was changed by post to PIP. My condition has changed so much and I feel that I should now try for high mobility. If not successful would I loose my original assessed claim of DLA now PIP

Forgive me, but it's not clear whether you have yet transitioned from DLA to PIP.

If you are being moved across without having to fill out any forms - whatever you are awarded stands, although you can put in for a mandatory reconsideration if you disagree with the award. Once the transition has happened you cannot go back to DLA.

If you already have an award for PIP mobility and it is only the standard rate you can put in for a mandatory reconsideration within one month of the decision letter and ask them to review your award stating that you think you should be awarded high rate mobility. If they don't agree your award will stay at whatever you have previously been awarded.
