Mandatory reconsideration

Further to my recent posts below I have today received the assessors detailed report of my face to face meeting and why I was turned down on my reassessment for PIP.

The person who conducted my assessment was a physiotherapist according to the form.

I would like some guidance please on how to deal with the reconsideration on a couple of points please.

1. In 2013 I was awarded 2 points for a raised toilet seat. 2016 they are saying adequate lower limb/spinal function is observed so basically

2. In 2013 I was awarded 3 points for washing and bathing and 4 points for dressing/undressing. Today is 2 points for each Basically they are saying on all my dressing/undressing/bathing that like above my lower limb spinal function is ok. I can assure you it isn't.

They are saying on both that I need an aid (is that meant to be my husband)? All they keep banging on about is "a significant impairment is inconsistent with the MSO and the informal observations which demonstrated adequate lower limb/spinal function". How can I address this point? I was asked to do various tests with hands legs and bending down etc

3. The final point in 2013 I was awarded 2 points for preparing food. 2016 award was 0 as they said I had adequate pinch and grip and lower limb/spinal functikon.

Any help would be appreciated

Could someone advise please. I have been successful with my pip mandatory reconsideration. Will I receive back pay from when it was stopped back in March through until now

Thanks

Hi Clifford,

I have merged this query with the previous topic relating to your PIP so that everything is in one place and anyone who wishes to can see the whole story.

I am very glad that the Mandatory Reconsideration went in your favour - it does happen but is not common.

This decision, in effect, remakes the original decision. Therefore the arrears should be dated from the time your PIP was stopped.

I'm not sure how long backpay usually takes to reach your account, but there should be little to delay it (other than usual DWP slowness!).

I would just like to say a big thank you to the forum.

I have been successful with my mandatory reconsideration and have actually received the higher rate of daily living.

I have received my back payments too which was put into my bank within three days.

I would just like to say the support and help from this group is wonderful and I cannot thank you enough.

Much appreciated
