Mandatory Recon Letter for PIP

Hi everyone
I have various physical and mental illnesses that have me unfit for work. I have been on PIP successfully for around 3-4 years now on standard rate daily and mobility (After researching I found from various online PIP tests I should have had been eligible for enhanced however I have never contested this before now). I had a re-assessment just past in December where, although I stated new diagnoses and a worsening of conditions the DWP deemed that I no long needed the mobility component of my PIP.
I have been informed many Mandatory Recons fail, I dont wish to go through appeal/tribunal so I am writing a long and detailed Mandatory Recon letter with help via templates and CAB and various other organisations. However now I am at the point I desperately need a proof read preferably from someone who has won a PIP appeal at the Mandatory Recon stage. My latest appointment with CAB proved to be unsuccessful as she was just to quick to assume what I was there for and by the time I tried to explain it my appointment was over. I'm just too sick to go out again and face this for a second time.
So is there anyone out there who I could email a draft of my current ongoing Mandatory Recon letter for a content proof read?
Thank you kindly

Unfortunately, statistics show that only 20% of MRs succeed, and you might be one that does. But most people who want to appeal have to go to tribunal where 65% are successful. Going to tribunal is a hassle but in most cases worth it. A tribunal awarded me enhanced PIP both elements, increased from standard both elements.
Scope Helpline might be able to help with proof reading your MR letter.
Disability Rights UK site have a good guide to PIP including MRs and appeals.
And there is this MR letter tool:

Hi @atarikid and welcome to the community! I hope you find the above advice helpful, it sounds like you're preparing thoroughly for the MR and I really hope you get the outcome you're hoping for. In terms of proofreading, Citizens Advice may be able to offer support. Do keep us updated!
