PIP declined

Well the latest update after phone calls every few days , on Monday we were advised by DWP that for some reason the matter had not been dealt with and the lady was requesting a 24hr call back but this could take a few days.

Earlier we had the call only to end up at where we were 3 weeks ago however for the first time this lady asked if we were requesting a reconsideration ?? I said well isn't it obvious that's what we have been asking for since 22nd June , she said no it wasn't and repeated again are you asking for a reconsideration so I answered YES.

Therefore this reconsideration request is now being processed but I have no idea of how long or what this means.

However If a mandatory reconsideration is now in process how long does this take and what is the likely outcome , im hoping that my husband will be allowed a first clinical assessment but in the mean time the DLA payments for the Mobility car stopped on Tuesday and the car goes back first week August , DWP did advise me to speak to Mobility and inform them that a mandatory reconsideration was now in place ????

The frustrating part is that almost 4 weeks have passed and now we are being told to lodge mandatory reconsideration , Im quite intelligent and articulate and feel like ive hit a brick wall time and time again I really do feel sorry for people who may not be able to understand how this process works as I for one am at a complete loss as to their process .

We have not taken any actions other than speaking to DWP on a daily weekly basis for an update which is what they have been alluding to until todays request for a mandatory reconsideration , why they didn't inform us of this on the 22nd , 24th , 27th june then on 4th July , 7th , 11th ,15th and 18th is a mystery.

Letter now going to local MP and AM as this process stretches ones human rights to equality and fairness, my argument is not about the monetary side but for common sense and humanity not that I expect anything but in a democratic society it is our right .
