DWP will NOT look at New Evidence !

Gordon you said that to me before and I followed your advice you gave me which was to go and get more evidence to make it easy for them to change their minds.

So I did that and went from 0 points and 8 points to 11 points and 16 points, they have not implemented it because they know i have told them i entitled to high of both and it would lapse the appeal, they gave that in their info to the court.

SO I looked and agreed with their new figures with the exception of question 3 where my medical evidence did not mention the amount of hours in the prescript ors and they awarded me 1 point.

Now I have a full page of information expanding the point and mentioning the hours needed which is 1 hour per day. This gives me 4 points. BUT how do they know that i do not meet the criteria if they will NOT LOOK AT THE MORE EXPANDED evidence that this case can be awarded and closed and stop wasting tax payers money.

Remember it was their opinion that I am entitled to 0 and 0 points, that was their opinion.

I am just going to go through again the information he sent with the llnk as the case bro quotes seems to be nearly exactly like mine.

Gordon Tonight I am considering my options available and need to clarify one option you mentioned and wanted to be 100% certain of my options before speaking to my MPs office tomorrow so know what my options are.

Firstly I want clarify that the award the DWP made after the second MR on my claim (yes I got 2 as evidence crossed dates they said) was made of LOW for mobility. This is £87 a month.
I am receiving this money now when changed from DLA to PIPS.

The APPEAL now is against this decision as I believe I have met the criteria for high of both.
Because I am already appealing, if I accepted the Low & High payment and got my money started again. IS THE OPTION OF APPEALING the low for looking after myself in the new decision still on the table. Do I have to tell them if I accept the low and high I am going to
then ask for a MR so the new evidence on question 3 be looked at and if not success got to appeal.

Its a big decision which only I can make, also I still believe I am right and if they looked at the evidence now would probably get the points. I am only thinking of this to try and get the money flowing again.

Also I would need to be sure that I can get the severe disability premium with a low and high score as I had that before with DLA.

Sorry to keep pestering you but I am trying to bring this to a head. If I know this information, it will help me consider my options after speaking to MPs office tomorrow.

One more thing I have asked the court for a more urgent hearing because of the bad effect the process is having on my health. That was 2 months ago, when I spoke to them yesterday they said thats still with a circuit judge and no decision has come back yet. So that also remains a possibility of an earlier hearing, though I think we have passed the early post a long time ago.

Thankyou for your patience

Gordon

I received a letter from the court refusing an urgent hearing because the DWP has changed its mind following further evidence and awarded 11 and 14 points.

Therefore they are urging both parties to try and resolve the matter.

My MPs office confirmed they will not look at the evidence before the appeal.

Having decided to check the deal is available and accept it, i notice that its only for 2 years. When they awarded me 0 points it was 4 years. Is 2 years a standard amount.
I thought I may ask if they would consider it for 4 years.

I want to make a decision today.

Its now the amount of time the deal is for thats now an issue

OK thank you Gordon

I am awaiting a phone call from a case manager to ring me and some of the details I wanted to clarify with them so I know the exact deal I am agreeing to. Since I added the last message, have checking with the court and it is an additional 13 weeks from today to a date as the court I have chosen happens to have a long wait. Just pot luck I suppose.

Thank You
