    Hi,

    You say you lost PIP after 10 years, PIP hasn't been out for 10 years. Did you transfer from DLA and then weren't awarded PIP?

    I'm unsure if you'll be able to use the recording on your phone as evidence because you shouldn't have secretly recorded it. If they had caught you doing this then the assessment would have been stopped. When recording assessments you need to ring them first to tell them you're recording it and the use the appropriate recording equipment.

    You have 1 month from the date of the decision to request the MR, which should be put in writing. You need to state where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Adding 2-3 examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.

    Avoid mentioning any lies that may have been told because DWP and Tribunal won't be interested in any of those. Any complaints about the report should be sent to the health assessment providers.

    PIP is about how your conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors, it's not about a diagnosis.

    Only 18% of MR decisions change so expect to have to take it to Tribunal because most do. Waiting times for Tribunal are huge because of backlogs in most areas. Some are waiting in excess of 1 year for a hearing date.

    This link is worth reading, it will give you a better understanding of the PIP descriptors and what they mean.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You don't need proof of the lies because they won't be interested in any lies. What you need is evidence to prove how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.

    If you’re happy with your WRO you would be well advised to direct all future questions to them as taking advice from more than one source is not good practice.
    ….and if you don't have access to a WRO?
