A has been made on Mistake on Assessment report was created by Astee
Hi All,
I have just received my PIP review descision. Given the huge discrepancies between what I said in my assessment and what they wrote, I was expecting to have to appeal.
My condition has worsened in the 3 years since my original award, mostly to do with mobility, I had standard and now believe I qualify for enhanced. I already had enhanced daily care and so did not claim any major changes with the daily living activities. So I was shocked to see my award had been reduced by 6pts which now left me with standard daily living
The descision maker has of course gone with the exact descriptors the health professional recommended, but the health professional has made a big error. On 3of my activities she has written the wrong descriptor from my previous report
So she has said previous pip report advised 1b-which gives 2 points
But my previous report was actually 1e which is 4 points
She has done this 3 times losing me thev6 points as she has said no change so stuck with what my current award was-or what she incorrectly stated it was.
Is this something I may be able to get looked at without having to go through a mandatory reconsideration on the basis a clear error was made rather than disagreeing with a descision?
I sent the form back in April, they've said an MR could take 15 weeks and my payment has already reduced. If this is something that may be an option, how would i go about it? Any advice gratefully received, although inhave a feeling I know what what's coming. Here's hoping 🤞🏿

Hi Astee
I'm sorry that you find yourself in this position. Unfortunately, the only way to question what you have been awarded after the decision letter has been issued is through the Mandatory Reconsideration process. They won't just look because you think a clerical error has occurred. Even if you ask, they will tell you to put in an MR. If you win, then the money will be backdated.
