The GP stated that it is quite normal for the assessments for PIP to go ahead without up to date medical information. Is this accurate or is this now a common practice that decisions from DWP are now being made without up to date information.

An MR should result in a new DM reviewing all of the medical evidence available for the claim however I do have to warn you that revision rates at MR are very low, they do happen but most usually where the claimant has shown fundamental flaws with the report, this goes beyond just highlighting issues with the report.
