It's 8 weeks since I requested a PIP MR in writing. Initially I was told more than once that expected wait was at least 8 weeks, but recently I've been told by DWP that MR waiting period is now at least 10 weeks.

Next time I call DWP I'm expecting them to tell me MR waiting time is now 12 weeks. Whatever suits them I suppose.


Unfortunately there is no required time for an MR to be completed within and as such there is no opportunity for legal action!

Hi

I have received an letter which states my MR has been refused. I am disgusted and dismayed that they refused to move beyond my award of 7 points for daily living.

Can you please advise how I should approach an appeal?

Hi Jonny,

I have merged your query with your other asking about the MR process, I hope you find it helpful to have things in the same place (it makes our life easier too!).

Please try not to take the failure of your MR to heart, it is rare that this does anything other than 'rubberstamp' the original decision :(

As you say, your next step is to appeal, you have one month in which to do so. This process is covered in some detail in our PIP guide, I suggest you have a good look at that and then reply to this message with your specific queries.

I'm afraid I don't remember whether you have a copy of the assessment report? If not, now would be a good time to request it!

It has 'Decision Makers Reasoning', included in decision letter. Is there another report I should ask for? I didn't have a face to face.

In relation to Appeal Form. Can I send an additional detailed submission of my own with appeal form which challenges the areas I lost out on and resend all medical diagnosis when sending back appeal form?
