No worries nn !

You are not the only one.

All that we ask is that members break up there posts into sections of 2 to 3 lines of writing with spaces in between the paragraphs.

You can continue to submit evidence (copies, keep originals) to The DWP until they have made a decision on your MR request and you have received the MR Notice with their decision.

Sending Documents to the DWP.

Hi nn,

From what you have written thus far it looks very much like The PIP HP (Assessor) has recommended that your partner should be given a PIP Award

With a recommended review date of around 18 months.

The "Yes" that they marked as above is to say that the PIP HP thinks that the limitations that your partner was suffering at the time of the Assessment, that were identified by The HP, will still be present at the recommended review date. i.e. in 18 months time.

It does seem that The HP has recommended a PIP Award to be reviewed in around 18 months time, but for some reason The PIP DM has gone against the HP's recommendations and not given your partner a PIP Award.

This is well worthwhile querying, "Why" have they not taken the HP's recommendations and any other evidence that you have provided into account and given a PIP Award ?

PIP DM's are not medically qualified, so they rely heavily on The PIP Assessor's recommendations and any evidence that the PIP claimant has supplied themselves.

They should weigh up "all" the evidence and make a decision on "the balance of probabilities", i.e. taking all the evidence into account is it more likely than not that the claimant scores enough points under the relevant PIP descriptors to be given a PIP Award ?

If the answer is "Yes" they should award !!

Hi nn,

Any fresh evidence that you submit now to be taken into account in The Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) process should be sent to The DWP PIP DM, not an HP at ATOS.

An HP will only be involved again if a fresh PIP "medical" Assessment is deemed necessary.

As previously advised, The DWP PIP DM is not medically qualified so if you can tie in the medical evidence that you have with the actual PIP Activities and Descriptors that he scores the points under, that should help.
