Hi, On a PIP Award if I have been award 8 points for daily living and 4 points for mobility, should these of been added together to make 12 points in total. Therefore the enhanced rate of daily living payment should of been awarded ?

Hi Dollydee

Good try but no, remember there are two components with claiming PIP; the daily living component and the mobility component. In the daily living component there are 10 questions, in the mobility component there are 2 questions.
You can be awarded both components if you get 8 or more points from each component
You can be awarded only the mobility if you get under 8 points for the daily living component and 8 or more points for mobility
You can be awarded only the daily living component if you get 8 or more points and under 8 points for the mobility component
Not awarded anything if you get under 8 points for both daily living component and the mobility component
