Hello Paul,

How frustrating for you!

If you think they have given you the wrong points you can write requesting a ‘Mandatory Reconsideration’. This is basically asking the decision maker to look at it again, taking into account any points you make. Your post seems very clear and you could just write that to them in the letter. But you might also wish to look at our guides on Appealing and Mandatory Reconsiderations.

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants You need to scroll down a bit to get to the appeals bit.

It is also worthwhile requesting a copy of the assessor’s report, the PA4, which might throw some light on what you need to challenge. You can get this by ringing the DWP.

You need to be aware that you should submit your request for a MR within a month of the date of your decision, but you can ask for this to be extended, particularly if you have a good reason for needing the extension.

Please do come back to us if you have any other questions.
