Mandatory Reconsideration Advice please

Hi Ragnar

I'm sorry that you were not successful with your Mandatory Reconsideration (only 17% of claimants win).

Before you put in for you Mandatory Reconsideration it would have been useful if you had rung the DWP and asked for a copy of the assessment report. If you tried to write your Mandatory Reconsideration without it, then you were immediately at a disadvantage, because you don't know how the DWP came to their decision. You can still ring up and ask for a copy of the assessment report.

You can put in a request at your doctor's for a copy of all your medical records.

In order to appeal - you should look at our Guide to PIP appeals. That will walk you through the entire process. Appeals take about a year, but you should lodge one now.

Hi Ragnar

I'm glad you understand now. The guide you need to appeal is about halfway down the page of this link - www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip it says PIP appeals in bold print and just underneath that is says Guide to PIP Appeals and that's the one you want.

Hi Ragnar

So please you found a good worker. You don't need to add any information if you're happy with what's been said.
