I was awarded high rate mobility and low rate care DLA 12 years ago indefinitely after appeal. I applied for PIP and was awarded standard rate for both, after a face 2 face, I have asked for a mandatory reconcideration I don't have any new evidence as I have not been to my Dr for a while because they say it's arthritis and he can't do anything except put me back on the medicine that I was having terrible side effects from I also have diabetes angina fybromyalgia which I don't take medicine for, as I am very sensitive to medicines they prescribed they make me feel a lot worse ,I explained this to the assessor but on my letter from dwp they as good as said they can see I am only on paracetamol so I can't be that bad , it's my choice not to be taking the 10 tablets a day the Dr wanted me on .what can I do now any suggestions.
Did you say whether you would be supplying any additional information with your MR?
Have you requested a copy of the assessment report?
Your primary goal is to show that you meet the criteria to score the points you need, you might want to sit down with your PIP2, the report and the PIP Claim guide to make sure that you have clearly argued your case.
Have you made use of "reliably" and "on the majority of days" as appropriate?
