Is it worth putting in a mandatory reconsideration plz or do they not normally take any notice. I'm not sure what to.
Thanks

Hi,

Only you can decide whether to request the MR but without going through this process first you'll be unable to take it to Tribunal. Most MR decisions remain the same and only 15% of those decisions change. Most people take it to Tribunal and waiting times for hearings is huge across most of the country and lots of people are waiting as long as 1 year for a hearing date. Appearing in person will be your best chance of a decision in your favour.

Hi happy new year. I've decided to do a mandatory reconsideration do I just need to ring for a form? I'm confused. Thankyou

You need to put the MR in writing stating where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Adding a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor tat applies to you. You have 1 month from the date of the decision.

Happy New Year.

So I just write a letter and send off or do I need to tell them I'm doing it?

poppy123456

You don't need to tell them because the letter will be the MR request. Or you can download and print this form and send that.

If you mean write the letter based on your worst day then this is not great advice, sorry. You should never base filling our forms or writing letters for a PIP claim based on your worst day.

@poppy123456 - I agree...

Tell the truth, and then you don't have to remember what your story was!!

Hi I was Kazambo but am now nannykar.
After a long and tiring 9 months I have had my mandatory reconsideration changed and have been given the higher rate. I'm thrilled. Thankyou for all your help on here. I would never have done it without you. X
