Hello I’m new to the forum, so forgive me if I’m doing it wrong.
I received one of these letters today the reference at the bottom is PIP.7108
At the time of my decision in may 2018 I was awarded only 4 points for mobility however if I ask to have this looked at I may have been entitled to more points under the law change, so therefore should have been awarded mobility after all. Have I got that right?
Has the above mentioned case submitted a reconsideration request?
Thank you in advance for any advice

Hi Turner295

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum

I've moved your post to its own topic, we ask members not to post their questions in other member's topics as it can lead to the wrong advice being given or taken.

Yes you are correct under the LEAP Review.

The DWP are reviewing claims/awards from November 28 2016 for people who may have been entitled to mobility for overwhelming psychological distress that they suffered. This is an ongoing process. Claimants will receive a letter saying that either their claim has been looked at and either it remains the same or they will be awarded a back payment. We can't tell you whether you are eligible for this - only the DWP can
