Got the dreaded brown envelope this morning, just over two weeks since my assessment.

Yeah really pleased I got standard care and enhanced mobility till 2017, would have liked it to have been a bit longer but not worried will just have to face it again next year.

Feel like an actor at the Oscars, want to thank ... the mods on here you do a fantastic job, the guides are great and members who try to help through their own experiences without judging.

I got 10 points for care which I feel is correct its what I gave myself in the pip test, and 22 points for mobility, I scored myself 18 in the pip test, but my doctor and OT worded things how they should be and looking at the 12 points for walking it is correct and the 10 for following an unfamiliar journey is correct too.

I was on lower care and lower mobility on DLA, I did the change as my mobility has deteriorated.

Good luck everyone.
