That depends what the MR Notice says.

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

I phoned them again and they saod the decision is still the same which is very annoying. I have contacted CA and they will support me with the appeal

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.

Ok i will do. Will speak to CA when they call me

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

@nasturtium may I ask you a question please it may sound annoying  I kept a copy of my MR Notice that I wrote before sending it to DWP, is been now more then 2 weeks now that I'm waiting, so last night i was checking the letter to see If I included something which i though i may not , and  just realised and notice  that I had some writing mistakes in the end of my letter . So I'm worrying a litlle bit if this cause any problems ???

What do you me by writing mistakes?

Hello Sweet_Strawberry

If I or any member of the forum can help in anyway we will try help and will never find it annoying

I would like to echo what Poppy typed above.... what do you mean by mistakes?

Can you be more descriptive of the mistakes?

@poppy123456 i mean with the words like for example I wanted to say carrying out and I wrote caring out instead something like that in the end of  my letter I messed up litlle bit as I was very anxious and I was not  felling well the whole time while I was writing.

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