I’ve been awarded high mob - high care until 2025. Without face to face.

Appealing PIP decision - what do I need to ask for?
I’ve not got any complaints about the process, but the decision. I’ve shown my doctor, and neither of us believe it is a good reflection or understanding of the evidence that has been sent in.
