My wife was previously getting DLA. High rate in care and low middle in mobility I think. I filled in PIP forms and got reply this week that she now will get standard rate in care with 11 points and nothing in mobility with just 4 points. I telephoned and asked to be reassessed, hoping at least for a boost to 12 points to get " enhanced " in care category. Couple of questions, if she does get enhanced what does this mean, what will she get. Also do I still get carers allowance if her reassessment fails and she just gets standard rate

The same number of points my GF received. Strange how 11 and 4 keep popping up all the time
If you have t done so yet write and ask for a MR. Even if you have asked for one over the phone write a follow up letter and send it by recorded delivery (for safety reasons all letters should be sent this way
Also ask for a SAR, see my post above, hopefully it will arrive back in time. You!!!8217;ll be surprised at how much extra information is in there. As an example we got phocopies of her old DLA forms
Here are the current PIP rates. Sorry don!!!8217;t know about careers Allowance
Component Weekly rate
Daily living - standard rate £57.30
Daily living - enhanced rate £85.60
Mobility - standard rate £22.65
Mobility - enhanced rate £59.75
That extra point could mean £28.30 a week, well worth the fight
