Just received the Brown evelope !   Wife's mobility component cut from Higher rate in DLA to Standard Rate Mobility Component in Pip, also Standard Rate Care Component.

Would Standard rate Mobility Component - awarded 10, ponts by assessor, entitle my wife to  free car tax? and automatic entitlement to Blue badge renewal ?  The cut of £36.00 a week from the original DLA is quite substatial, not to mention the benefit loss that a higher rate mobility component gives.

Should I phone the DWP next Tuesday for a Mandetory Reconsideration?  Can the mandetory reconsideration request be accomplished over the phone with DWP representative ?  

Any help or advise on how to proceed would be appreciated.
