I have just received back my pip claim today, I scored 6 on daily living and 4 on mobility. I broke my ankle at work 20 years ago and now it’s down to bone on bone, depending on weather means I can walk or not walk, ive also suffered from gout for years having 100s of flare ups that have damaged bone and cartilage all over my feet, doctor has told me my feet are a mess. My last flare up was in November and lasted until March in both feet I was crawling around the house and gave my delivery driver job up as I can’t even use my feet to drive they got so bad.

    Hello just an update, I appealed against my pip decision I got back I only scored 6 for daily living and 6 for mobility. My mistake was I sent no evidence from my GP and they only had the evidence I provided myself. I appealed straight away but still sent no evidence and thanks to talking to you guys I got the evidence I needed from my GP and sent that along at a later date. On the 5th July I received a letter saying I've been awarded pip they changed daily living from 6 to an 8 and also changed mobility from 4 to a 10 so I now get standard rate for both daily living and mobility. This lasts until October 2020. I think this is a fair decision. Thanks for all the help. Never give up
