Thank you, Thank you, Thankyou!!!
Thankyou to all of the moderators and your so very detailed guides on how to fill in the PIP form. I was convinced I'd be asking for a reconsideration on my DLA to PIP transfer, and had been reading up on how to go about that. I'd been on tenterhooks everyday till the postman had been.
Finally the dreaded brown envelope arrived this morning. So much relief. I've been awarded enhanced rate for both mobility and care. I must have miscounted the points myself, but the scores were all detailed. The letters from my GP and consultant must really have helped; my GP one was really supportive; as the best thing is that they've agreed with them that my condition is unlikely to change so I've been given the max possible review period, so none expected before 2026
