Mandatory Reconsideration new detail was created by Liz Birtwistle
Hi not sure if I m doing this right but as your guide has been invaluable and I have read so much information on here that has helped me in my PIP application, yesterday I rang DWP to ask for a mandatory reconsideration after receiving 8 points for care and 4 for mobility , I also requested SAR on medical report and any other documents used in my case , I will also follow this request up in writing however the lady on the phone said in order to commence the request for reconsideration I would have to answer some questions , I replied is this a new thing ? As I ve not read anything about this, and no problem I will just apply in writing , she stated it was a new thing the DWP were doing and basically she went threw every point asking if I was disputing the initial award and if I had issues with any of the unawarded area s. At the end she read back a statement I had made to ensure it was in my own words and reflected why I was unhappy with the decision . Has any one else experienced this different approach ?

It's a tactic by the DWP to try and put claimants off of doing an MR, there is no legal requirement for you to have answered these questions, they should have accepted your MR request without question.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
