PIP Review- points reduced was created by Orangeblossom
I'm in the middle of a PIP review and just got the copy of the medical report from the assessment.
It looks like I've got 12 points for daily living however it is recommending a short award, 18 months
whereas my previous award was for 6 yrs, also they have changed the points in two areas where I
got 4 points to 2. Also taken away my standard mobility for planning and following an unfamiliar
journey.

I'm considering whether or not to MR/Appeal the length of award, mobility and possibly the two areas
which have been changed from 4 to 2. I can see a number of mistakes in the report and reasoning
so it should be possible to do. Given the proposed changed to PIP- the '4 point rule' it's concerning they
have made this change.

But I remembered something from the past- when appealing they just select 12 points and don't consider
others because this is enough for the enhanced award. Would the Appeals therefore consider the change
from 2 to 4 points given that I already have enough points for the award?

Any advice welcome.

Hi Orangeblossom

Several members have recently reported having questions dropped from four points to two - so you are not alone in this.

I can't tell you whether, because you already have enhanced, they will ignore any challenge you make, but it's certainly a possibility.
