I have ME/CFS. I live in Cardiff. I made my first ever application on November 22. I'll update this forum when I have had my tribunal which I expect will not be for some months.

Good practice for those appealing

I received a phone call on Monday from someone at the DWP re my appeal (which has not yet gone to tribunal.) I was told they were in a position to allow my appeal - I wanted the mobility component - if I was happy to accept the lower rate. I was happy to accept that. I was told I could still change my mind if I decided to go to tribunal even after I received the letter confirming I had accepted the lower rate. I am very pleased and the gentleman from the DWP seemed very relieved and thanked me several times. They must be desperate to clear the backlog.

Hi ie,

I have merged tonight's post with your previous one on this.

Congratulations !!! :cheer:

If you are happy with this revised award, that is all that matters !! :)

Thanks for the update.

Hopefully, you will receive any back pay owed and written clarification of the Standard Rate Mobility PIP award in the near future.
