Hi lottie1
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Have you submitted an MR and are waiting for a reply? It usually takes between 6 - 8 weeks - (occasionally shorter and sometimes longer).
Decision-makers do have access to information, but more often than not they follow the recommendations of the health professional who carried out the original assessment. They won't trawl through past records.
Sorry if I've misunderstood. Post again if I haven't answered your question correctly.
