Mandatory reconsideration

How long does a mandatory reconsideration decision take.
Will I receive notification that they have received it.

Thanks
Sarah

Hi,

There's no timescales, they can take as long as they want to be honest. A decision for anything depends on backlog in your area. Only 20% of MR decisions change, so be prepared to take it to Tribunal.

If you haven't heard anything in about 5-6 weeks then give DWP a call to see what's going on.

I've never heard of anyone having notifications for receiving the MR request but i could be wrong.

Thank you for your reply .
That is what I thought, just wanted to make sure. 
I am prepared to have to fight, for what is right. 
Thanks

I hope they are not too long should get my PIP assessment results in a week or so. Get the MR in asap. So with any luck I will be able to get the appeal started before Christmas..
