DLA to PIP Mandatory Reconsideration Advice Needed

I am supporting my partner on a DLA to PIP transfer,
We have the Medical Assessment and disagree with several aspects of it.
We intend to ask for a MR on the Mobility part of the award
I am not sure of how or if I should challange what the assessor said or just do a letter stating how my partner meets the descriptors in question.
Would the information leaflet from medication be considered with the side effects highlighed to show how they affect my partner ?
kind regards

The claim pack should already have made the case for which points and why but look back and see whether you have put in a couple of anecdotal examples per activity. If not then now is the moment.
DWP advice on what evidence to submit can be wholly ignored. It has no legal status. What they’re really getting at with not submitting information leaflets is just that they don’t want generic information about how a condition affects most people. They want how it impacts the specific claimant.

I am considering if we should do the MR,
I am getting a letter prepared but if I send it is another matter
I know its our decision and ours alone but not sure yet,
I keep reading that there is a risk that all the award could be taken away and thats scares me.
Thanks
Harleyqueen.
kind regards
