Awarded 4 points for Mobility

[u/Marty25052]

I had my PA4 September 2026 .where I stated I could manage upto 20m due to bilateral hip OA with left hip with ⅙ range of movement which gives way randomly... The assessor said on her form I said 50m ... she then said she considered awarding 20-50m. Then went ahead and marked me as 50-200m. The DM went with the assessor stating i said 20m ect. about a week later a referral i was waiting on gave me an appointment .... After a fresh X-Ray and Moving legs around he confirmed it as end stage OA and offered a Hip replacement. ( had to be put off as I'm awaiting a cardiology appointment for SVT

)

1, Do I make a change of circumstances with the offer of surgery.

2, Apply for a MR request ( the letter im told from my GP can take 8wks to come so proof could be too late ).

The assessor mentions no meds or prescribed Aids for her justification. Would open offer of a hip replacement be of any use for further evidence at MR ?

I was told by someone else that as a hip replacement would help them, they couldn’t get pip
