Received the dwp award letter -mandatory recon. was created by AR2019
Hi,
Got my award letter after transferring from Dla to pip.
So I was awarded standard rate for daily living needs and no mobility!
First off I am grateful to this site that enabled me to complete the forms etc. I am shocked I have not been awarded mobility, the report also says I refused an assessment/examination - what actually happened was the assessor said she will not do that given my condition!
The report says because I walked albeit slowly to the assessment room I can walk 50 but no more than 200m. But it misses the fact that I can’t do this repeatedly, or safely.
Should I request a mandatory reconsideration? Would I risk losing the standard award of pip?
Fact is I struggle to walk and the report identifies that I use a crutch I can’t believe that was only 4 points, plus the assessor report isn’t truthful.
Also the pip award for mobility says it stopped since may 2019 but I only received the letter today and my assessment was in July - so it’s backdated? This seems so unfair so this pretty much means I have to hand the car back as it’s near enough 26 weeks since may.
Again, thanks for the great work this site does for so many of us, I appreciate your advice

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi AR2019
Only you can decide whether you want to put in for a mandatory reconsideration. There is always a risk involved in challenging the decision, but if you believe that you have a case then you may well want to put in for it. What you need to decide is do you have a realistic chance of being awarded more points.
Was May the date they said your DLA would end if you did not apply for PIP? You could always question this.
