I'm sure I posted this yesterday but cant see it - so here it is again.

Hi, I could really use some advice.

My Mandatory Reconsideration has come back with no change to the original decision:
High rate for daily living, standard rate for mobility.

This is despite the fact that my mobility has significantly deteriorated, and my mental health has worsened. I received a text message at 9:40am to inform me of an upcoming call, which then took place at 10:10am. That gave me just 30 minutes’ notice. Given the time of day and my medication, I was feeling extremely groggy and unprepared.

During the call, I did my best to explain the issues I face – including severe memory problems caused by both PTSD and high-dose morphine. Still, it feels like none of that was properly taken into account.

I also noticed that the date of the call is incorrect on the paperwork. I'm not sure if this gives me any grounds to request that the decision be looked at again?

I’m now considering whether to appeal to tribunal, but I’m terrified with everything going on around PIP and government changes at the moment. That said, I genuinely believe I should have been awarded enhanced mobility. It’s especially frustrating that I didn’t even score 4 on any of the care components, despite all the information I provided – and all in the context of a light-touch review.

I’ve attached the MR decision for reference. Any professional advice or guidance on what I should do next would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you. Paul.

Hi Paul

The forum isn't open on Sundays, and posts don't appear until they have been moderated. I answered your previous post earlier today.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
