Hi I sent off my MR letter on Thursday does anyone know how long it will take to hear back? I live in Scotland if that makes any difference with waiting times. Thanks

    2-12 weeks, sometimes longer.

    @DD91 Only just over 20% of MR decisions change an award so unlikely but still possible. Tribunal success rates are much better at over 70% so I would definitely advise you to go down that route should your award not change.

    I’m definitely going to, I just hate waiting and With losing money during this cost of living crisis is awful

    Keep us updated when you hear more @DD91, and I'm sure you are certainly not alone in your concerns over the cost of living crisis.

    It's something our members have had many discussions about, in places like the Coffee Lounge and Disability Rights and Campaigning, so feel free to have a look and join in if you would like to.

    It could be money they owe you. To know for sure, you would need to ring PIP.

    Good luck @DD91. I can hear how you are not feeling the odds are great at the moment though. That sounds really tough.

    What, if anything, might help this to feel more manageable for you at the moment? We are here for you if we can do anything to support you  :)
