Hello everyone
Hey there @penpen78 and welcome to the community!

Hi I was in needed for some help with MR pip I have mental health which the process is not helping with my health and just need some support
Sure thing @penpen78 that's what we're all here for. 😊 Is there anything specific we can support you with? I know how bad MRs can be on peoples mental health.
Hi @penpen78 - it's best to put your MR in writing; a letter is fine.
Remember PIP is not about any diagnosis, but rather how your disability affects certain activities of daily living &/mobility the majority of the time. Have a look again at the activities/descriptors that are looked at:
https://www.mentalhealthandmoneyadvice.org/en/welfare-benefits/pip-mental-health-guide/help-with-your-pip-claim/how-to-fill-in-the-pip-form/ This section is still useful for doing a MR even tho it says it's about completing a PIP claim.
With your MR you should say where you think you should have got points, & why, giving a couple of recent, detailed examples as to the difficulty you face for each applicable descriptor, i.e. when did it happen, where, what happened, did anyone see this, & were there any consequences to attempting/doing an activity?
Say if you can't do an activity 'reliably,' i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, repeat as often as one would reasonably expect, or if it takes you much longer than someone without a disability.
Put your name & National Insurance number on each page. Keep a copy, & get a free Certificate of Posting from your Post Office when sending it off.
Please come back with any questions.
