It's not a high success rate at MR, but you have to do one in order to progress to tribunal where the success rate is much higher.

Hi there 

Not to sure of the exact rate they have been more successful recently through pandemic but still remain low . As above tribunal rate is a lot higher 

If you think you deserve higher award then it is worth pursuing 

Maybe get some advice from welfare rights

I think the last figure I saw was 17%

Recent DWP figures show that the success rate for PIP mandatory reconsiderations is 57% and for ESA mandatory reconsiderations more than 80%.1 Sept 2020 Disabilityrightsuk

Nope. The 57% figure is way out of date. It has been reverting to the norm of around 17% for some months. It’s not back down there yet but it’s getting there.
