Was on DLA Higher for Mobility since 2000. Over next years (and numbers of medical reports) care was added and I was given an indefinite award. Had to apply for PIP in 2017. Initial decision was lower care and lower mobility. I went to mandatory reconsideration (as not all evidence considered and report not consistent/clear on some points) and was awarded higher care and higher mobility.
In October I filled out the AR1 form and in January was told I’d be having a f2f assessment. This happened and my great misgivings about the ‘assessment’ on the day, were proved correct when I read a copy of the report. I don’t have a decision yet but if the decision maker follows the assessment report I will get no PIP at all!
I’ve complained to ATOS (Independent Assessment Services) and made my MP aware and will be sending a copy of the complaint to the DWP. I’ve decided that if PIP is removed I will go to Mandatory Reconsideration and Appeal if needed. My current award ends anyway at the end of March.
