My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

Start by having a look at PIP MR & Appeal guide, see

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip

There is a template letter that you can use to request the MR in the Submission PDF also in the PIP area.

You should contact the DWP for a copy of the assessment report if you have not already done so, I would phone them but again follow up the request in writing. Once you have the assessment report you will have a better understanding of how the DWP Decision Maker has come to their conclusions and will then be able to argue against them.

Your primary task is to show that you meet the criteria, there are many reasons you may have failed, you need to address each of these but don't get bogged down in criticising the assessment report unless you can clearly show that it is incorrect.

If you have any specific questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.

Don't ignore the report if there are clear discrepancies then you should comment on them but understand you will only receive an award by your showing that you meet the criteria for one, so go back to your PIP2, our PIP Claim guide and the assessment report to make sure that you have met the legally defined criteria contained in the PIP Descriptors and if you haven't re-explain your problems as part of your MR.

Remember as well that you need to be able to complete the activities "reliably" and "on the majority of days".
