I note from you initial post that you stated on your form that you can only walk 20-50m, even if this was accepted by the DWP it would only result in you being awarded 10 point, not the 12 that you need for an Enhanced award, for this you would need to show that you cannot reliably walk 20m or more.

Sorry that is wrong I read the form I ticked less than 20 metres and in additional information wrote I struggle to mobilise and have a walking stick due to pain , dizziness and loss of balance . I cannot walk anywere without pain . I have delayed reaction to pain which means that walking 5 metres one day means I will be in agony the following day .

Nowhere on the form says 50-200 metres don't know we're the assessor got that from

The assessor is stating their opinion of how far you can walk, you need to show that their opinion is incorrect and that your walking is far more restricted.

It's not clear from your posts whether your current PIP award was made by the DWP or by a Tribunal, if the former then you will have to request a Mandatory Reconsideration, if the latter then you can only pursue the matter further I you can show that there was an Error of Law in the proceedings.

Our PIP MR & Appeal guide explains the process for requesting an MR and has template letters that you can use to make the request. See

The following factsheet covers appealing a Tribunal Decision.

I note from another topic there was a question about backdating of payments, have you been able to find out what is going on with this?
