Pip awarded but

[Pinkcrush]

I know I should be happy I've been awarded pip,but they have decided I only get standard care part, I didnt get mobility, they gave me a score of 4 for that part,but even for care,for preparing food they gave me a 2,even tho my mum or daughter does most meals because of arthritis,anyway I wont rant as theres a few bits I dont agree with, but I wanted to know if I ask for them to reconsider the decision do I have to go all through it again,

Many thanks for any help

Hi Ann, if you disagree with the decision you can ask for a ‘mandatory reconsideration’ using form CRMR1 or write a letter to DWP, but you have to do this within a month of the original decision letter. Apparently more than half requests are successful. Look on citizens advice website for more details. If still not successful you can go to a tribunal, which also has a good rate of supporting the objection.

The original process doesn’t start again, but you have to be prepared to explain what you’re challenging and why.

Best of luck, and do let us know how you get on.
