MR - do you still get the current award?

KaliB

Hi,

I have received the assessment report (it only took a day to arrive the in post - I was very surprised), have added up my points and read the assessors comments very carefully.

If the decision maker goes with the report (which I believe they do most of the time), then I would be awarded only standard daily living.

There are several of the descriptors where I disagree with the points and the comments, so I already know I will put in for a MR (unless the decision maker awards more points than the assessor, which is unrealistic).

Would I be paid the award given whilst going through a MR and maybe a tribunal?

Yes, for the MR. What you get while waiting for a tribunal depends on the outcome of the MR.

Thank you.

For the MR, can I send in additional evidence to support why I think I should have been awarded a certain descriptor? Or will they only consider the evidence they currently have?

You can send extra evidence at anytime.

Thank you

I'm going to start compiling it all now.

How long would a MR take, from when I declare to Pip that I want one?

Allow 12 weeks

That's not as long as I thought it could be

Is an MR done via post or an online portal? My original pip forms were all done online

You can either use this form https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/challenge-a-decision-made-by-the-department-for-work-and-pensions-dwp and then print it and send it. Or you can write a letter and send it to PIP. You should state exactly where and why you think you should have scored those points.
