Hi W,

Yes, I understand what you are saying !! :)

Are you now happy with my response regarding the Text ?

Are you happy that you now understand how the forum operates ?

We are here to help all members, but we also have to run the forum in an orderly fashion, otherwise it will "fall to bits" !! :)

No Mods, No forum !! :)

Mods were all members once and many if not all of them will continue to go through ESA and PIP reassessments, so we also have our own personal experiences.

We volunteer as Mods in an effort to help members as we have taken the time to research "Benefit" issues and Legislation.

My son got zero points and we will now be making MR but difficult for people with M.E. as they generally do not see doctors after first few years because nothing doctors can really do or offer.However,we will try to get something from GP and earlier tests that were done over 20 years ago such as brain scans.I will probably be told to refer to MR info on website - and I have read it - but here goes - should any extra evidence be sent with MR or is it not really worth it and wait for making an appeal and having more time to get any support evidence.I know that most of you if not all are ill yourselves and I do apologise if I am being a nuisance

It's s decision that only you/he can take.

The revision rate at MR is low. The success rate at appeal where the claimant attends is about 60%.

Supplying new evidence is likely to extend the time taken for the MR to complete. You can't appeal until the MR is completed.

If you don't supply the evidence to the MR then they can't consider it reducing the likelihood of a revision. Appeals are taking 2-3 months but the period could be much longer depending on where you live.

Even though you share a forum name, the forum software recognises you uniquely, providing you keep you posts together in on topic then there should be no issues, the Mods are used to this situation.

If you click on the profile tab above, you will see that only your posts are displayed.

ok I was not too bothered by the same name but you did not say how dora managed to get into my answers/replies. Anyway,that also is not too much of a concern.But what if a tape recording of an assessment had a similar problem eg such as dora appearing in my question and reply section.- what would be your advice then
