PIP decision
9 years 4 months ago - 9 years 4 months ago #126793 by
Hi omr,
It is good to hear of your Enhanced PIP Daily Living award !!
Thanks for the comments regarding B&W.
It is possible that the DM could change the decision if they feel that the evidence that you sent them before the PIP decision was made, which does not seem to have been taken into account, does give you some entitlement to Mobility PIP.
However, I would be wary of waiting for a call from the DM, as this may not occur.
If you feel that your current Enhanced DL Award is safe,( how many points did you score ? did you just scrape in ? ) and you feel that you should qualify for a PIP Mobility Award, you should not wait for the call, you should instigate an MR request within one month of the date of The PIP Award Decision Notice letter.
Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS
This can be done over the phone, but we advise that this oral request id backed up in writing to protect your MR rights.
There is always some risk to existing awards when requesting an MR/Appeal, I am afraid that only you can assess said risk.
You could state that it is only the Mobility component that you wish to challenge, however they can re-look at the DL Award as well.
Have a look through our : PIP MR/Appeals Guides.

The DM made a decsion on monday just gone giving me the enhanced rate PIP til 2018 (all with the help of this website i really do appreciate it allot! Couldnt of done it with out it) i had further evidence like a diary and a letter i wrote saying im waiting for some letters of support. I called DWP a couple days before decsion was made and she said she would note it down. But the next day i called to see if they had recived my documents and she said yeh its been scanned but the DM hasnt seen it yet as he made the decsion before seeing my other evidence.
So basically if i go for a MR would they look at my PIP enhaced rate again or just mobility? As i am happy with daily living just i feel my evidence just got there lil later. The guy at DWP said he would write down that i sent other evidence in regarding mobility and if he could seeit or get the DM to call me. Can the DM see my evidence and change the award aswel before going to MR?
