Hi, Albus.

Thank you for reaching out to me.

I'm not that great. I've been trying to write an MR to PIP for the last three weeks, but I'm struggling with my mental health. I'm feeling so stressed and anxious thinking about the MR. What if they cancel my PIP?

Oh no @HeaBro27 that's not good! Is it a MR for a PIP review? I totally understand the additional stresses that adds to your mental health, I've been through the same a few times now. What's got you stuck with writing up? Maybe we can help?

MRs have about a 20% success rate, but please don't panic as tribunals have a 70% success rate (and climbing) so that's when all the action happens. Tribunals are actually very easy going, they just sound scary.

I'm worried DWP will cancel my enhanced daily living if I submit the MR. The information regarding my mobility is incorrect and/or misinterpreted, and it has not been correctly used in the assessment answers. I am lost and have no idea what to do. The stress is leaving me experiencing panic attacks.

The most likely outcome of the MR will be the decision remains the same as only about 23% of them change in the claimants favour. Yes, it is possible you could lose points or even lose what award you have but it's rare for this to happen.
