i have no idea whether to appeal or not

Hi, im just writing to ask if people would give me their opinions on what they would do. I realise that ultimately it’s my choice and there is no right or wrong answer but I really don’t know what to do and i’m getting into a state about it lol. Originally I was on PIP standard care for 4 years (after a face to face). I had a renewal and I explained my care needs have increased due to my conditions getting worse and also new conditions that I need help with. I also supplied evidence (reports and proof that I was given aids). So it came as quite a shock that I was only awarded 2 years standard care (paper based). I honestly don’t understand why I got less for more care needs?? I thought I might as least get it for the same length of time and a bonus would have been getting moved to enhanced care or also getting standard mobility.
I then asked for a MD but got the same result. So what i’m really writing to ask is in your opinion would you appeal? I don’t have any further evidence to add because I feel as though I supplied it with the MD.
The added problem (well it’s not a problem lol) is that I am Scottish so I guess I will be transferred to ADP at some point – im thinking maybe it will be when the renewal is due, which I am guessing they will send out the form a year before? And in that case I maybe should just leave it until then and try and get a better award this time, or it better to appeal now (and it may get transferred over). thanks in advance for any advice

Hi,
If I may.....
My girlfriend has Parkinson`s Disease and was awarded Enhanced for both components of PIP, but only for 3 years. With my encouragement she applied for a Mandatory Reconsideration (1 x A4 side of paper with very little body):

*********************************************

Dear Sir / Madam

Request for Mandatory Reconsideration

I am writing to ask you to reconsider your decision dated 25th October 2021 about my Personal Independence Payment claim.
I had very little help when completing my PIP application, therefore when I was awarded a date limited award I wasn`t aware that I could appeal the length of that award. I have now been advised that I can appeal the length of the award, therefore I would like you to consider the following:

Daily Living Activities
Not contested.
Mobility Activities
Not contested.
Length of award
Contested.

I have been diagnosed with Parkinsonism; this is an incurable, and progressive, medical condition.
I wish to contest the date of 10th October 2024 on the basis that my condition will not improve nor will I get better.

Her award was changed to ongoing without the need to start tribunal proceedings.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Thank you. And well done!
