Having put in an MR for pip and speaking to 4 managers over the phone about it. It was put as urgent
I have spoken again to the dwp who have said a letter has been sent out but it hasn't updated on the system so she can't see it yet
She said she could see that it was noted to be dealt with asap
Could this be a positive thing I'm dreading the letter

Hi,Fingers crossed for you that you are one of the 19% of those that have the decision changed at MR stage but it's rare. It can take a few days to receive the letter but if you ring again tomorrow they will be able to see the decision on the computer because it can take 24 hours to update.0

Hi @stonker01, I hope you hear back soon, fingers crossed!

Thank you I'm not sure I want to phone and see but they have dealt with it very fast as I was informed that even the urgent section is a long list
Everything that I have said to them has been put down on computer and was then noted underneath to be dealt with asap this was noted by a case manager
I'm just wondering if anyone has a simular experience and if so was it positive
I mean if there wasn't anything that stuck out I'm sure it would just be in the list of MRs they get which I believe to be loads at the minute and there is a backlog on urgent and non urgent
The impact it's had on my partner is indescribable other than a complete shell and even lost weight0 -
Did you put the request in writing or just requested over the phone?

Phoned 1st then I went to cab got some advice from them
Then put it into writing
I then continued to phone and I was put through to managers because I could prove the assessor made false facts
Which changed it's direction I think.
It was put as urgent at this point then I spoke to them again and it was changed to asap and they seem to have kept to there word
It was read back to me my latest conversation so they have been listening to me so at least there is comfort in that but it's made me lose faith in humanity. My partner wouldn't of been able to do this she wouldn't mentally cope and wouldn't fight this it's saddening to think there is probably lots of people who haven't pit up a fight but I can and will but it is draining and cruel

struggle2222 i really feel for you because it seems to be a pointless process to go through wasting numerous of weeks and causing so much distress.
In my eyes it's an act of cruelty because only a small amount of people succeed at this point but to get your tribunal you have to do it.
If you've phoned them to tell them your doing an MR make sure you tell them to note on your records that you will be putting in writing so they don't start the process.
I phoned them to say an MR will be happening and I gave a brief of why then I got a text message saying you have asked us to look at your claim again so I phoned and they were going to use my call I said no I'm putting it in writing so she noted it. I also sent it recorded delivery.
It's very stressful but try to plan ahead in your mind that tribunal is likely.
Finding this page has helped me cope with the stress to see we arent alone going through this and to see but my partner isn't doing good her meds have had to be increased and also been prescribed sedatives, she's lost weight and talking awful thoughts

Things have to change soon.
It's quite clear that assessors are telling pork pies on reports ... Why though I don't understand.
I've been on other forums on the internet and the amount of people saying lies are on reports is barbaric. This can't carry on for long surely I bet the DWP are tired of hearing this and it has to be costing them more money in the long term with the amount of successful tribunals.
Good luck with your MR.

That's exactly what I thought of my partners I was reading it over and over as I just couldn't get over the false information.
My partner has apparently said she is absolutely fine with everything.
I've done research on my partners assessor and he has 2 jobs one being a liar and the other one isn't far from us and I've struggled not to go to the place of work and tell him and his colleagues what he has done and caused.1 -

I've been tempted so bad. My partner has been through hell I know her childhood and it was an horrendous one all I can say is she didn't have a childhood at all.
So there's no family on her side due to this.
It took years in blibs and blabs for her to tell me things I know there's more I don't know. I never bring it up it's rare she does and it's not nice when she does.
I know it's all in her mind everyday of her life and she has never ever left the house without me and it's rare she does. It's people she has a problem with, she doesn't like to be near them. Strangers are a no no so you can imagine the state she was in leading up to and the day of her assessment. It was awful for me I feel so guilty that I couldn't fix it so she didn't have to do it .
It was very clear for anyone there to see a very distressed person so this assessor to do this to such a vunerable person makes my blood boil he had the cheek to say to her he won't go into detail and will be as quick as he can as he didn't want to cause anymore distress
My job role is to protect and care for my partner and I failed1 -

The MR stage is a completely pointless process as all they do is pass it to a different manager who reads the assessors report who are supposed to read your MR too and make a decision. A manager is unlikely to want to over ride another managers decision or go against a so called trained and experienced assessors report without a very very good reason too and that's why MR success rate is so low
The system has to change
As for not telling the dwp about lies
I have because it's true it's an actual fact I've been lucky to have proof to back it up too but if they still after that don't change anything and it has to go to tribunal the tribunal will see straight away before even trying to speak with my partner how distressed she will be I'm sure they may even wonder why she's there that's how bad she is you would think you was dragging her into a burning fire
If anything happens to her in all this I will make sure there held responsible
I'm seeing what they say before I contact newspapers as well. My partners vunerable and weak but I'm not
As for the assessor I will have him hang his head in shame if my partner comes to anymore harm1
