I’ve just received the dreaded letter from the DWP and unfortunately lost the mobility section by two points.

I’ve only had the award six years and I was put on pip from the beginning. The first assessment was face to face the second a telephone assessment about severn weeks ago.

Any advice on what to do next?

Totally agree with joss. Challenge the decision.

Pets are a major help for the disabled.

@Landyman

Did you request a copy of the assessors report? If not, you should. This will help you to make a challenge. Read the report and see what it says and the points they have awarded you.

You have 1 month from the date of the letter to ask for a mandatory review. You need to challenge what the assessor says in the report. A DWP decision maker will then review the evidence you give as to why you think it’s wrong. They will then look at this and then respond in writing. Don’t worry if they say no to your MR.

If they do say no. you can then take your case to tribunal. My advise is you need to get help from Citizens advice to help you with your appeal.

Keep us updated.
