Good luck I had my appeal today and thankfully it went in my favour and i got my mobility increased from standard which I had been awarded at my pip assessment to enhanced. This was such a relief as the stress over the 6 months ive been waiting for my appeal was awful. But the one thing I did not realise before my appeal was that no matter if your medical condition has worsened since your original pip award they can only go by the condition your health was in at the original assessment. I was so worried as mine had worsened so expected a refusal to overturn their original decision but thankfully they awarded me the higher rate. I sincerely hope yours too is found in your favour as its a very long wait for the appeal process.
