Hi thanks for the reply and thank you for grounding me and getting me to focus on the real items , my doctor and pain specialist are going to write reports so hopefully that will help my Dr could not believe they dismissed my anxiety and depression , they said I'm on a low dose first line medication when I'm on the highest dose of Prozac you can have . Can I ask while the reconsideration goes through or if that does not work the appeal will my benefit stop ?

Hi Rince2028

Unfortunately PIP benefit will stop during the MR and Appeal phase which is why we try to get the benefit result over turned at the MR stage as in some areas it can take over 60 weeks to get a case listed (Derby) for an appeal.

Just to be clear, if this review does not result in an award then you will not receive any PIP payments during the MR and appeal process, however, if an award is made but you feel that you should have a higher one then the award that has been made will be paid during any MR or appeal.

If you have a PIP award then that is what will be paid during any MR and appeal.
