PIP and MR was created by Mrs Doyle
Hi I havent scored points where I think I should;
1.Needs an appliance or aid to speak or hear,0 points.I expected 2 as I wear a hearing aid
2.Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to dress/undress,0 points.I expected 2 as I use a sock puller on and have difficulties with buttons due to neuropathy of fingers (numbness)
3.Needs an appliance to manage medication or monitor a health condition,0 points.I expected 1 as I need a dated (I cant remember what they are called) box to keep my numerous medications in.I also monitor my blood pressure with my own device.

In all the guides on the internet on pip points, Ishould have scored these points.How risky would a mandatory reconsideration be for these or could I lose everything ? many thanks.

Hi Mrs Doyle

There is always a small risk when challenging a PIP award, but the majority of people who put in for an MR find that there is no change at all, and they stay with their current award. I've only ever known two people to be downgraded and they were unusual cases. You would certainly appear to have valid point.
