    Hi ande0208,

    Welcome to the community. We hope that you find this useful for talking to other people and sharing experiences.

    PIP is a bit of a nightmare and a number of people are not qualifying for the benefit or not scoring enough points to qualify for the enhanced rate of the mobility.

    Before you can appeal a PIP decision, you must first request a 'Mandatory Reconsideration'. Have you been through this part of the process yet?

    Best wishes

    Debbie
