I rang dwp and was told that i have been awarded the daily rate of 55.10 but not the mobility component so my award will be backdated from August 2015.

Even though im happy with this i do have problems with my mobility i have been diagnosed with fibro and have problems with moving around.

I am aware that if i ask for MR then my whole award will be looked at again so in your professional opinions what should i do?

Thanks in advance.

You previous posts suggest that you had a PIP appeal hearing last month, how did you get on as you did not post the result?

I assume that this award is the result of a new claim that you made in parallel.

I'm afraid we can only offer advice and information on how the system works, not what claimants should do in regard their claims.

To be receive a Mobility award based on just the Moving Around activity then you will need to show that you cannot reliably walk more than 50m on the majority of days. If you cannot reasonably show this then there is no point in you asking for an MR, if yo believe that you can, then you need to consider how likely that is to be accepted based on a description of your problems and any evidence in support of these.

Call the office that dealt with your claim and follow it up in writing, if you cannot phone then just write to them.

My decision letter came through and i scored 10 points for the daily component and 4 for the mobility.

I feel i should ask for a MR and have requested a copy of the assesors report.

I suffer from anxiety/depression, fibro, diabetic, thyroid, anemia.

Struggling as to how to start off with the MR as haven't received assesors report.

Regards,

Have a look at the PIP Appeal guide and the template letters for requesting an MR.
