Advice would be great :)

Hey all.
so after attending my PIP assessment - I requested a copy of my assessment paperwork, much like it would seem a lot of people the assessor had ignored what I had tried my best to explain to him about how my condition effects my day to day life.
Going on what the MHN and my best friend worked out I’m going to have to ask for a mandatory reconsideration. I have a couple of questions for anyone that may have some experience, although I did submit a letter which my Doctor wrote about my current state of mind in his opinion I should not attend and a list of current medication, there wasn’t much else in terms of supporting evidence.
Since my assessment I’ve now got a care coordinator and I’m under the community consultant psychiatrist.
I plan on submitting a letter from my GP outlining how my illness effects my daily living in more detail.
Is this likely to make any difference at the mandatory reconsideration stage? Or does adding additional information only really come into play at the tribunal stage???
if anyone could offer some insight I’d be really grateful
i hope everyone has a peaceful happy Sunday
Chris.
