Mandatory reconsideration notice was created by Tracey Hinton
Please can I have some help with my mandatory reconsideration notice. I have been swapped from DLA to PIP and attended my assessment where the assessor said that I did not “ look in pain” and despite having to use crutches for the foreseeable future ( I am due to have 2 big orthopaedic operation in the next 12 months) I am able to get around safely. The report said that I only take moderate painkillers despite 2 of my meds being opiates and my GP will not increase my pain meds until after op to see if I need them! I need help with written appeal please thank you

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?



The PIP Appeal guide has links to the SSCS1 form that you will need to complete and the Submissions guide has a complete example that you can use to help you fill it in, you do not need to provide detailed reasons at this stage for your request.

Once your appeal is accepted the DWP will prepare their submission to the hearing and send you a copy, whilst you should wait until you receive this to finish and submit your own, you should start to prepare your own case, an increased award will only be made by your showing that you score the extra points for one, so I would start by going back through your PIP2, the assessment report and the PIP Claim guide to see how you might show this is the case.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
