    PIP is paid every 4 weeks, so if it's just mobility you claim then it's
    £23.20 x 4 = £92.80.



    If you had the mobility car then you will lose this.
  • More info needed..joint claim? etc
  • the claim is for myself..
  • thanks..so with esa on top of this it'll be around 850 per month?

    As stated more info needed. Support Group or WRAG if WRAG did your claim start before or after April 2017? Is it just the mobility of PIP you're claiming?

    You say your PIP was increased at appeal from Standard to Enhanced and now you're saying it was reduced and you're appealing the decision.


    If you don't give all the correct information it's impossible to give the correct advice.

    i was due an appeal and i got a call saying: my daily living rate had been increased,,but what she didn't say was that: my mobility rate had been reduced,,and it was a trick by them..my advisor is trying to sort this all out..sorry for the conflicting threads..

    If you are lucky enough to have a benefits advisor working on your appeal, then be guided by them.

    Your posts are rather conflicting and confused because you are not giving us the full picture. Your advisor should have all the appeal paperwork, and should also know from F to F interviews with yourself what is an appropriate award for you.

    If you have an accredited advisor working on your appeal, I'm really not sure what you hope to achieve by these threads?

    OP - You really do not want to go back to your advisor and confuse the issue / question their approach, because you may be worried about something posted here based on a misunderstanding of an unclear post. Try not to worry overly - leave it with your advisor, and try to understand what they are telling you.

    Then it's your adviser you need to be speaking to about this. Judging by your previous posts you're very confused with what exactly it is you're claiming.
