Phoned today as still nothing in the post and a decision has been made in line with the assessors report, which means an increase from standard to enhanced mobility and I will now be getting standard living too. Plus the decision has been back dated to 30th April - not sure why that date but as I am currently off work sick this couldn’t have come at a better time. The lesson that I have learnt is not to be afraid of assessment which is why I had not asked for a review myself at the end of last year when my condition deteriorated. I am also very grateful for all the help in here and the guides to the assessment on this page really helped me consider how my life was being affected rather than just naming the (sadly) numerous chronic conditions I live with. I have been treated with nothing but respect and fairness in terms of assessment of my case and hope that you will all be treated the same. Thanks all
