PIP Mandatory Reconsideration

I sent my mr into the DWP by first class recorded delivery on Wednesday 24th July after assistance from the CAB.The latest it could be in by was Friday 26th July. Today I received the decision dated Tuesday 30th July. Just two working days after the request needed to be in. Nothing has changed just more lies added to the award letter. The cm has obviously not read the extra information that I sent and has hastily made his decision without reviewing my case properly. I don’t think there was enough time between him actually receiving (if it did even land on his desk) and reviewing the extra evidence and him making an informed decision. I don’t think he has read anything extra that I sent in and has made his decision without waiting for it. Appeal it is then. Although I will be phoning to confirm that my mr had been received.

@poppy123456 has given you some useful advice already. All you can do is use this tool to draft a letter of appeal

For tribunal, I strongly advise attending it in person.
@April2018mom
thank you both for your advice.
Poppy that is what happened but it happened because they had not sent me my award letter and I only knew my award had changed when my bank statement was checked. When I phoned I was asked if I wanted a mr. Because of their delay I thought time was running out and so said yes when asked over the phone. You would have thought that they couldn’t make a decision until the time frame of when you need to have your extra evidence in by, is up and not before. So much for it taking up to ten weeks..! I will be appealing.
My intention is to attend in person. Maybe I’ll have a year to prepare..
