in PIP, DLA, and AA
Got this text today, usually DWP text but this says they are sending a letter, does anyone know if this is usual when they refuse a renewal please?

    It's hard for us to know the answer I'm afraid @chele67 but do keep us updated with the outcome when you do get the letter, and we can support you whatever the result :)

    My partner had this the other week, and received her renewal letter 6 days later increasing her award from the last review, so the text does not infer anything negative

    It doesn't mean anything other than what the text states. This is a new text they have started to send to some people waiting for review decisions.

    Sorry to hear it wasn't the best news @chele67 once the letter arrives, you can decide if you'd like to challenge the decision, Turn2Us has lots of clear information on the next steps if that's helpful.

    If you’re not happy with the decision you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. I don’t advise you to ring to request it. 

    You should put this in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. 

    If you didn’t include a couple of real world examples of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you when you fill out the form you should do this for the MR. Add detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were. You should aim for at least half an A4 side of paper per descriptor that applies.

    I answered your question about the award reducing at MR stage on this thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/106605/pip-mr#latest it does become very confusing when asking the same questions on multiple threads.
