PIP mobility Mental Health was created by gaz111
Hello,
I didn’t receive any award for pip mobility on mental health grounds when I applied in 2015 ( just daily living and 4 points for mobility on prompting). I renewed again in late 2020 which gave the same award. I didn’t challenge as was scared I’d lose the lot and have to go through a lengthy appeals process.
I do think I am entitled to the standard rate of mobility and I’ve had no letter regarding the leap review so I was wondering how I’d go about asking for it to be looked at again? And if I should or not? Would I have to fill a new form out or could I just write them a letter?
I was looking at the prompting descriptor which I got the points for and promoting alone does not take the distress away of how I feel when I’m making journeys. I would always feel better travelling with another person, especially to new places.
I’ve still got another 4 years of award to go before the next review so not sure wether to apply now or just leave it? I don’t want to risk losing my award or having to fill the whole form out again when I’ve just done it. I don’t want to start from scratch.
Any advice?
Thank you

Hi gaz111
Lots of forum members have not received a leap review letter, so you are not alone. The Government have stated that they have over 340,000 claims to review. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/4447-340-...ents-of-up-to-16-000
We cannot advise you whether or not to ask for it to be looked at again, that has to be your decision, we have come across a few posts where members have contacted DWP about the LEAP review only to find that DWP have sent them a review form.
Did you read our guides when you completed your PIP form? did you contact DWP and ask for a copy of the assessors report? that is the first place to start from before you make any decision, contact DWP and ask for a copy of the assessors report called a PA4.
