I have long term medical conditions and gave just migrated to Pip from Long term DLA. Apart from the Assessor turning up a day early I was awarded Enhanced Rate Care and Mobility but for only 12 months. I don’t know whether to ask for Mandatory Reconsideration then Appeal etc, or stay as I am and repeat the whole nonsense again, anyone else in same boater anyone offer advice?
The length of the award is part of the Decision so can be challenged.
However, we have not seen huge success with claimants challenging the award length and certainly not at the MR stage, you can go on to appeal but with hearings taking 9-12 months to be heard you will be reassessed before a hearing is convened.
Are your conditions likely to change over the next year, for the better or the worse? If they are then the award may not be wrong.
