PIP appeal after Mandatory Reconsideration Notice

Hi
I have received the reply from DWP about the MRC. They are sticking to their original decision of awarding me points for mobility but none for activities of daily living so I would like to appeal that. I've contacted the local law centre. They want me to submit the appeal before they get involved. I cannot see help on here (maybe I've missed it in my stressed state) to fill the form (which seems a bit different whether it's the online or the downloadable hard copy).

Hi pipsqueak

I'm sorry that you find yourself in this position. Only 28% of Mandatory Reconsiderations are successful - so as dispiriting as it is - you are not alone in not overturning the position. The DWP should give you a call and explain their decision (though they often don't). If you want to you could contact the DWP and ask for a call back from a case manager.

If you're going to put in an Appeal you have one month from the date on the decision letter. All the information about the process is in the Guide to PIP Appeals benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/pip (scroll down the page and you will see it).
