Hi,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.
This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ :
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
I am really sorry to hear that you didn't get a PIP Mobility Award !!
Your only option now is to request a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) of the adverse PIP decision within one month of the date of your PIP Decision Notice letter.
Sending Documents to the DWP.
You could also ring the PIP Helpline :
Telephone: 0345 850 3322
Textphone: 0345 601 6677
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm
To request a copy of The PA4 PIP Medical Report compiled by the PIP Assessor at your face to face and sent to The DWP PIP DM to be used when the DM came to their decision.
If you have any problems obtaining The PA4 with a verbal request, you can make a written request, which should be done as a separate issue to any MR request :
You can do this using a SAR Form :
SAR Form Download
From this page :
DWP Data Protection Policy
Or you can make the request in the form of a letter, as long as you make it clear that you are making a formal SAR under The Data Protection Act 1998.
Address the envelope : FAO The Data Controller, at the Benefits Office dealing with your PIP.
Write DPA 1998 SAR in front, top, left corner of envelope.
Once received, they have 40 calendar days to comply.
You should not miss your one month deadline if The PA4 has not arrived.
You can make comment that you have requested this and will submit further evidence if applicable when you receive it.
You should be aware that when you request an MR, any current PIP Awards, Daily Living and/or Mobility, that you have, can be increased, reduced or taken away altogether, as they will look at the whole PIP Awards afresh.
Obviously, if you have no current PIP Awards, there is no risk involved.
See : PIP MR/Appeals Guidance.
Mandatory Reconsiderations Explained
&
Disability Rights UK Factsheet - Appeals and Mandatory Reconsiderations.
You should concentrate on reiterating where and why you should have scored the extra points with respect to the applicable PIP Activities and the appropriate scoring PIP Descriptor for that Activity, whilst cross-referencing to any medical evidence that you have, or may have already provided.

If you are not successful at MR or Appeal, you can apply for a Blue Badge even if you are not in receipt of a PIP Mobility Award :
