Hi, I just wondered if anyone had actually followed this up with DWP?
I.e wrote to them and said they think they missed out on this entitlement and may be one of the cases the DWP are looking for/
I’ve read the PDF attached to this news article and note it said re writing and too use sample letter , but as a new member, I’m struggling to find sample letters, that I could follow. So if anyone can point me in right direction.
Many thanks,
jennyhj13

Hi, further to this. I sent the sample letter, as per guide for my partner and now we’ve received a letter as though we’ve asked for a mandatory consideration. Saying we’ve left it too long and they considered it and not proceeding. Which is probably a good job, as we don’t want a mandatory consideration. What do you suggest we do now?
As my partner has become quite ill worrying about it? Thank Jenny

Hi Jennyhj13

You may want to try and get your MP involved, some MP's are more pro-active than others.

Make sure that they fully understand what you are trying to do and why. We have heard from a few members on this forum who have been successful, we have also heard from others who were sent a new claims form as DWP took their letter as notification of a change of circs.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for this, do you think it is worth writing back and saying that we wasn’t asking for a mandatory consideration, we were just asking them to review it, as they were supposed to be doing?

Many thanks,
Jenny
