Please help Mandatory Reconsideration on Lcw

Agnia

Hi please could you help me 

i got a message in journal that they raised my Mandatory Reconsideration on Lcw , what does that mean?
And they asked me to let them to know if i have more evidence to send to them 
please could you confirm is that true that some people got awarded Lcwra even if they didn’t prove much evidence 

Thank you 

Agnia

i didn’t write in journal yet that the mandatory reconsideration letter did write to me the lady who helps me to do the income and expenses

It means the MR request has been sent to a different decision maker. They will take another look at all your evidence, including the form you returned, as well as the assessment report and make another decision.

Yes, lots of people are found to have LCWRA without medical evidence. Not everyone is able to get such evidence to support their claim.

If the decision doesn't change then you can proceed to Tribunal.

Thank you poppy

Hannah_Scope

Agnia

Thank you very much @Hannah_Scope

If you don’t have medical evidence then you can’t send something you don’t have. It’s not really needed anyway. Lots of people are found to have LCWRA without medical evidence.

Agnia

Thank you Hannah 
i just had one letter from the lady who is social prescriber and it was already sent before 
i don’t have a new medical evidence 

Hannah_Scope

That's fine Keeping everything crossed for you! 

Agnia

Thank you poppy 

Agnia

Thank you Hannah 
im sure they ( Mandatory reconsideration) will keep their decision the same as they found me Lcw 

Agnia

Hi please could you confirm what happens if they call me from dwp regarding MR and i won’t be able to pick up their phone call because this medication does make me sleepy during the day
Will they sanction me then  
Do they phone claimants during mr process 
Thank you

They don’t always ring when you request the MR so you shouldn’t expect them to do this. If they do happen ring and you don’t answer the phone then that’s fine, you won’t be sanctioned. 

Agnia

Thank you very much poppy.

Hi i received letter in journal today that their decision on mandatory reconsideration is that they changed their original decision and they are awarding me Lcwra

Aww that's absolutely fantastic news @Agnia! This should have been the decision to start with and then you wouldn't have needed to go through all that stress!! At least now you can relax a little more knowing that your UC will increase and you will no longer have any appointments.
