PIP MR & Tribunal was created by Jb
Hi, I had 2 questions which I hope you could help with.. I had requested a 2nd MR for PIP which was again, unchanged. However, I wondered if there were any rules or guidelines that said that an MR had to be undertaken by a different Case Manager or decision maker at all? My first MR was done by a different person to the one who made the original decision but the 2nd MR was done, according to the paperwork by the same person as the 1st MR..

Also, I have put in an Appeal but I wondered if the tribunal receive a full copy of everything, including the submission that had been sent in when requesting the MR - or as in my case, 2 MR's. Thankyou

I'm afraid there is virtually no legislation controlling the operation of an MR and only slightly more ruiles.

It is standard procedure for the MR to be done by a different and usually more senior Decision Maker than the one that made the original Decision.

I'm not aware of any requirement for any subsequent MR to be carried out by a third DM, in fact, strictly speaking there is no such thing as a 2nd MR, legally the DWP have discharged their responsibility once they have done one MR.

Yes, the DWP submission will include all of the papers involved in the making of the Decision and the MR, this will include, at the very least, your original claim form and anything attached, the assessment report and anything you submitted as part of the MR.

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