PIP Mandatory Recon

Good Afternoon

I have received a decision from DWP and have been awarded Higher Rate [Daily Living] and Lower Rate [Mobility].

Thank you to all at B&W for the quality and accuracy of all your advice and information.

But, I am making a Mand. Recon. request for Mobility and the issue relates to the old chestnut of needing prompting to do any journey or cannot do an unfamiliar one without another person.

I recall some reference to this area on your site but I cannot now find same. Can you help please?

Also, for the record and for future assessments, I plan to question some HCP descriptor choices for Daily Living, even though it will obviously not make any difference as I have already been awarded higher rate.

Is this a good idea or pointless?

Grraeful for any feedback on both questions.
Thanks
A.

Augustus, I'm in the same boat - DWP supposed to ring me this week to discuss. I did speak to them on Monday but they said they were unable to contact the DM but would leave a message on the system. They said if nobody contacts me by Monday to ring them again and they would get the DM to call me !?! Errrrm thought she just said she couldn't do that .......

As I said on another thread I have also had issues with the going out with the prompting of another person. Interesting to hear I am not the only one.

I plan to send in a request for mandatory reconsideration tomorrow.
