Hello, please can you tell me how long you had to wait for your mandatory reconsideration decision to come back? I just want to have an idea. As my benefit was stopped three months ago. And I have now been waiting seven weeks for the mandatory reconsideration decision. Thank you?

    Hi,

    There's no timescales to MR decisions, backlogs are just part of the reason a decision can be delayed. Most MR decision's remain the same so you could end up taking it to Tribunal.

    Oh right , They sent me a text message saying it would take that as a guideline up to 6 weeks.

    Hi, ive been waiting 10 weeks. I called just after the 6 weeks and was told not to call back after 12 weeks, due to backlog.
