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.

    Thanks

     There's no need to post the same comment multiple times because it's classed as spamming. I also answered you on your other thread and my reply is here.

    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..

    Hi @norfolkcrystal and welcome to the community! When did you request the appeal? I hope you're not waiting too long, but unfortunately there are no timescales.

    If there is anything we can help you with then please do let us know. :)
