PIP mandatory reconsideration. How long should they take?
hello
i was on enhanced PIP for both care and mobility. Following an assessment that was full of faults I sent in a MR letter of 5 pages, I couldn’t make it any shorter and hope this document will be the one I can use to appeal if I have to. Has anyone had any positive experience with MR’s? I rang after 4 weeks and was told it was with a decision maker in a long queue. I have involved my map but I’m not sure if that will make any difference.

The MP emailed my MR to the DWP and requested a copy of the medical report and they acknowledged receipt the next day. I don’t think they will be a lot of help but it doesn’t do any harm asking. Thanks.
The first two saw the decision change from 0 points to enhanced care & mobility. The third was no change so by this time I had had enough. Never been to the appeal tribunal - there was no need to.
You may be lucky and get it changed back up to what you had before and even luckier and get a 10 year award. These 3 year awards are ridiculous.
