    That depends what the MR Notice says.

    Not everyone will receive a phone when waiting for the MR decision.

    That's not unsual because the majority of MR decisions don't change.

    Its just very horrible feeling and degrading. I am ok sick leave at the momment and my manager is threatening ne of dismissal and i will have to resign by end of august and will only have 107 pounds  a month to live off compared to 2200 pounds. They are just longing it out. DWP stands for Doesnt Work Properly

    Worried about what? Success rate at Tribunal is a lot higher than MR stage. Providing you either appear in person or request a telephone/video hearing there’s a 70% chance of a decision in your favour.

    Paper based decisions have a much lower success rate at between 5 - 8% and for this reason I would t advise you to request this.

    It varies depending on the backlog in the claimants area. I cannot give a certain time period or how long it would take.

    Spelling mistakes and punctuation, I wouldn’t worry too much.
