Hi I've done my Mandatory reconsideration I'm wating for reply but I've had a text saying they have received it a few weeks ago and yesterday one saying they'll look at my case before 19th Jan 2023 has anyone had this before?  I have inflammatory bowel  disease quite bad chrones and depression 😔  thanks for reading kind regards Jo x

It simply means they've given you a timescale of when the decision is likely to be made. However, as a guide it can take anything up to 12 weeks. You'll be contacted once a decision is made.

The most likely outcome of any MR will be the decision remains the same, if this happens you can proceed to Tribunal. What benefit is this for?

Hello @jog_123

I can see Poppy has already answered. I too was unsure which benefit this was for, but I moved your post to Benefits and Financial Support in case you had anymore questions and this post be seen more

I also have Inflammatory Bowel Disease and we have a great section on the forum called Rare, Invisible and Undiagnosed Conditions where you'll find a few fellow IBDers
