in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA
I just hear back and my mr has failed, I've not got it again.
They didn't say why this time just over and over that I'm not getting it, at first they said I can't have it because I have gcses....

    Hi,

    I'm sorry to hear this. Only 17% of MR decisions are successful, so most people have to take it to Tribunal.

    You now have 28 days to request the Tribunal and you need to fill out the SSCS1 form and send it to HMCTS along with the MR decision letter.

    See link for information.

    How long will it take to hear back for the hearing date? I'm really scared I'm going to be stuck in a loop, I'll go to the Tribunal, possibly get pip but then have to apply again almost right away and I'll be stuck going round. :(

    Some areas have huge backlogs and can be anything from 8 months and more. Some people are waiting 1 year for a hearing date. Once they accept the Tribunal you'll be able to ring and they will tell your approximately how long the wait it... but it's only a guide.

    If that's the case I'm not sure if it's worth trying with it anymore

    If you believe you qualify then it's always worth taking it to Tribunal.

    I think I do and I've been treated pretty unfairly by them, I've also filed a complaint and got a very rude response back. I'm just worried I'll get jt and then have to go through it all over again, since I've could get it for a year and then have to apply again. ..

    If the Tribunal goes in your favour then it will depend on the award length of time. Tribunal awards for PIP aren't reviewed 1 year before. DWP contact you 3 months before the award is due to end, for you to claim again.

    Complaints very rarely have a response.

    I have heard in the majority of cases, decisions are overturned on appeal. So it is worth appealing. My hubby and I are now waiting for the outcome of an appeal. Our MR was also rejected

    Award lengths can be as short as 9 months and as long as 10 years, but the average is 3years with a review after 2.

    Yes provided that your health and well being can hold out.

    Tribunal decisions aren't reviewed 1 year before the award ends, as i previously stated.
