[QUOTE="Norfolkmell, post: 2185950, member: 306528"] I went through this two years ago, was only awarding high mobility and low care after face to face. Asked for a copy of the report and the assessor had lied throughout so asked for a mandatory reconsideration pointing out all the mistakes. Came back as upheld. Decided to go for tribunal it is a lot of work, a lot of writing getting copies of consultants letters, care plans from carers, daily reports everything I could think of. Tribunal date came through quickly, went with my partner, very scary, judge, a doctor and a disabled lay person on panel. Loads of questions going through a daily routine, what my carer helps with what my partner has to do for me. Was in there about three quarters of an hour. Was asked to then wait outside for about a quarter of an hour then back in to be told that I had three more points which gave me high rate both parts back dated. The only thing they didn't extend was the stupid time limit had DLA for life PIP only three and half years. I'm a pensioner multiple conditions all getting worse so nothing is going to change. Benefits and work website very good, worth paying subscription for a year. I understand that the DHSS are looking at all decisions for the over 60s to give a longer time limit. Hope they do before mine runs out otherwise I won't be able to get a new Motability car next November as my award only goes until May 2021. I believe that most decisions are changed at tribunal I think almost 80% now but a much longer wait. Send as much information for mandatory consideration as more of those go in your favour at the moment. You have to be strong and focused. Do you know how many more points you needed? Make sure you provide evidence for all categories and not just the ones you think are wrong. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
