MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION

Alton1986

I have just got my mandatory reconsideration overturned and been awarded the enhanced rate of daily living with 13 points giving me £404 a month.

 
Tips to getting a mandatory reconsideration overturned.

1. Get a diagnosis of the new condition or illness or disability and on this diagnosis get the doctor or professional to say how this effects you as this can not be disputed then by DWP at all because they know if that goes in-front of a tribunal it will be awarded straight away and they know this. 

2. Don’t keep calling up for an update instead just wait for the minimum to call up which is as follows 2 weeks to check it’s been logged 4 weeks if you want to check it’s been looked at and 8 weeks to check the outcome. 

3. Finally in layman’s terms explain why the point/points should be awarded that will give you the enhanced living in my case I was given 11 points daily living and only needed one more point to give 12 points and I showed them that this diagnosis and how it effects me 19 page document explaining my dyslexia & dyspraxia in great detail will give me the 1 more point I need to get Enhanced living. 

If anyone wants any help or advice I am here to help.
