Mobility:frmDLAHighest->PIPStandard->MR=nowREMOVED

I have just mistakenly posted an incomplete reply, to a reply I had received to my first post seeking help / advice with how to address the result of a Medical Assessment which changed me from the Higher and Highest rates of DLA, to the Standard rate for both Daily Living and Mobility elements of PIP.

After requesting and receiving a copy of the full Medical Assessment Report, it took me a full two weeks to write a response addressing in details the errors contained in the report, asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration.

I have today received the new decision, which states:
"I've decided you're still entitled to the Daily Living component of Personal Independence Payment at the Standard rate ...
I've decided you're not entitled to either rate of the Mobility component of Personal Independence Payment ..."

To say that I am stunned is an understatement.

In the original decision I had been very concerned to read numerous inaccuracies in the Medical Assessor's Report, which I had tried to convey in my response / request for a Mandatory Reconsideration. As nothing has changed in my situation, I just didn't understand how or why I could be allowed Higher and Highest rates of DLA, but allowed only the Standard rates of PIP. I could only imagine that it was the inaccuracies in the Medical Assessor's Report that had, as a consequence, led the Decision Maker's Reasoning that I was only eligible for a reduced level of PIP.

Now that I have received the Mandatory Reconsideration Decision Maker's Reasoning I am very disturbed to read that this seems to refer, again, only to what had been (inaccurately) recorded by the Medical Assessment Provider.

This new decision has also been 'back-dated' to the date of the original transition from DLA to PIP (2nd December), thus I am now deemed to have been over-paid, and they say:
"Unfortunately we've paid you too much money. We'll write to you as soon as possible to let you know if we need to pay anything back."

Some years ago I had to go through an appeal tribunal ~ (for what I actually can't remember, other than the panel found in my favour) ~ so I know what it takes to go through such a process, but I am so shocked by this decision I feel like a rabbit in headlights and just can't think straight.

I'm sorry ~ I've written a book again, but I am trying to deal with this alone, and I really don't know that I've got what it takes to cope with it all. I just feel so defeated and I just don't see what point there is to anything anymore.

I don't really know why I've written all this.

Hi
The MR usually just rubberstamps the initial decision.
It was only introduced to try to stop people appealing.
You need to appeal again and get a proper fair independent hearing in front of a panel.
Use all the evidence etc you already have.
