Mandatory reconsideration notice

Recieved my pip decision today and want to do mandatory reconcideration notice. Do I just send a letter why I disagree or do I need to phone them to let them know I will be sending the letter. Also would it help if I send a supporting letter from my GP
Thanks
Thanks

downloaded MR form from DWP website.
just sent in same letter off GP as I had previously sent plus a hosp appointment letter
dont send too much medical jargon in as it’s not the diagnosis that is being questioned. It won’t all get read
You will need that in order to see what the assessor felt.
I didn't do MR as I have no other information to send.
The only evidence I sent with it was a GP letter that I had sent before and a hospital appointment letter.
I know the chance of turning around a decision at MR are only about 20% but my case shows it can be done with no medical jargon.
as long as you can prove the diagnosis that is what was on my GP,s letter, that is all that is needed.
the important part is going through each activity explaining why you can’t do the activity and telling them what has happened in the past if you did do the activity
Dont call the assessor anything nasty. I only mentioned mine once and that was towards the end.
its not the assessor who is making the decision now it’s going on your reasons why the decision was wrong.
the whole award is looked at again which is a little worrying, however if you feel like I did that you had a good reason to challenge the decision then do it.
i was quite prepared to take mine to a tribuneral and saw the MR as a stepping stone.
Thankfully I don’t have that worry anymore
good luck, take your time writing your MR and make copies.
write it knowing that a judge at a tribuneral will be sitting and reading it.
that is how I wrote mine.
Most of my report said that I could do things when I said that I needed help.
i explained in the MR in my own words ( not the assessor,s) why I couldn’t and what problems I had had in the past
But when I scored myself harshly because they will be, at best I made 6 or 7 maybe 8. I did both self assessments over different days.
