Have you requested a Mandatory Reconsideration yet? If not then you must do this in writing within one month of the Decision.

Have you requested the assessment report yet?

Call backs for PIP are usually within 5 days so you may still be in the period where this should happen, Easter will have delayed things as well.

hi every1 what a terrible time since my last post having spoke to 5 dwp persons who all agreed with me mind that i needed my pip decision letter to be corrected (all contacts names dates and times and conversation written down) yesterday i was told that a new entitlement letter had been sent out and the wording corrected if you follow my earlier posts! i have been told not to ask for mandotory reconsideraton until original is corrected,on numerous times apology after apology when no call backs came and also mind 2 new letters of entitlement still not corrected,once again another apology.
i have today rang dwp as yesterday no copy of letter was avalible to a dwp person to give me my entitlement over the phone to my absolute dismay and dwp rachael who i spoke to 2 weeks ago and remembered me problem the decision is the same as last time the case manager is now saying that it was her opinon that it was 50 metres and no more than 200 metres which she followed from the assessment form of person that came to house and she incorrectly put in 20 metres but no more than 50 metres in the decision reasoning on original letter dated 11 march mistakes do happen ive been told by dwp and once again sorry,what a complete and utter joke talk about moving the goal post ive now put in for mandatory reconsideration! copy of assesment from nurse who came to see me is ther anything else to do please other than write everything down many thanks .sorry if any spelling mistakes just so annoyed typing this.has any1 else had any of these problems

I'm afraid; when the DWP screw it up, they do it big time!

You need to show that you meet the criteria for a higher award, there may well be opportunities to criticise the assessment report, but you need to be aware that doing so will not in itself result in a higher award.

Try and keep to highlighting factual errors rather than challenging the assessors opinions, you're more likely to be listened to.

Decisions are revised during the MR but the rates are not high, so be prepared for the original Decision to remain unchanged.

hi all if you have followed my topic had new decision today no phone call of anybody just been awarded high rate mobility and low rate care woopee ,all i did was to highlight mistakes made by health assessor report, and point out the advise of moderators what i didnt agree with and going through everything individually in a five page letter,i also pointed out the complete incompetence of the first decision maker on the mistakes they made,i thought lets just go for it as i couldnt lose anything for being right in my mind! and also other colleagues of theres within dwp.Mandatory decisions can work for you,once again thank you to everyone who helped me from bw :)
