in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi I'm new to this

I was handing sick notes into universal credit from July 2021, I sent my questionaire off in August 2021, I kept handing evidence in until March 2022, at this time my assessment was still not complete, .
I then had a work coach appointment over the phone and in that call I told him I was sending in evidence, he told me to stop sending now as I didn't need to,

In August 2022 I had a letter stating I was accepted for work capability and work related activity, from August as there was a break in the evidence, and I would have to wait 3 months for the payment, when I have been waiting a year for the outcome,

Since that day I have got all evidence from march until present and handed it in as a mandatory reconsideration on 19th August 2022, 
All I am being told is there's no time scale for it, could some one help me with what I can do next as this is really getting me down

    Allow 12 weeks for MR.

    The timescale is just a guide. Sometimes it takes longer than 12 weeks. All you can do is wait for the decision at the stage.

    Hello @kieran1990 and thanks for your query, I hope you get a positive outcome for your MR soon!

    If you'd like to look at how to continue challenging the PIP decision if the MR isn't successful, you can read a clear overview on Turn2Us's website.

    If anything doesn't make sense, or you need a hand please do let us know, we'll be here to support you whatever happens :) 

    Alex
