in PIP, DLA, and AA
So just wanted some advice I had sent off my appeal for tribunal given a date but doctor rang me yesterday said the dwp rang him like a month ago and requested my medical records while we’re waiting for the tribunal at end of the month my question is . Is this a normal thing and why wouldn’t they have done this before mandatory reconsideration if anyone could help pleaseee

    DWP may be reviewing their decision before the hearing date - but that’s a guess. If they offer you a revised decision and you accept it your appeal will lapse but you can accept a revised decision but still, if necessary, appeal the new decision straight to tribunal.

    If DWP introduce them as advice HMCTS will have to send you a copy of whatever DWP send in

    When I replied earlier I inferred the GP request was recent. If it was last October ignore what I said about possibly interpreting it as an indication that DWP are reviewing their decision.

    Don’t know why they have done it. Possibly they considered look at their decision again but either haven’t got around to it or decided not too. Can only guess.
