They take as long as they want, unfortunately.0

The DWP do not acknowledge the request but will carry out the MR in their own time and eventually inform you of the decision

ok thanks -have asked my MP to enquire-as far as I know most govt depts get back to an MP with full facts within the week?

I chased up my MR with DWP by phone and they said it was in a queue. Think I received MR decision about three or four weeks after I put in request but queues probably longer now.0

I’ve just heard bk mine took 5 weeks0

wow
hope it was good news?0 -
No it wasn’t I’ve been refused I’ve now got to take it to tribunal. Hope it all works out fine for you.0

Whether we like it or not only 20% (Disabilty Rights figures) of MRs succeed. Strong new evidence can help an MR succeed. There is also the route @wildlife has outlined on another thread - asking DM at DWP to reconsider MR.
I didn't know about this route at the time anyway so I went to Tribunal where I was awarded enhanced both components, up from standard both components.0 -
Yes both0

thanks Cr
so you can also ask that the request for mandatory review also goes to DM?
my partner was failed for mobility as he struggle to get 35 metres to interviewers room
so automatically rejected.
although he told her he was struggling-she offers no where to sit-and kept saying its only a few paces more-so he had no choice but to struggle in great pain.
We then sent to mandatory consideration- 1.new physio report which says he cant manage more than 10 metres dues to broken hip and necrosis of the spine
2.with consults evidence
asked our MP to pick up the case-as he ethics sound lousy0 -
The MR should go to a different DM to the one that made the first decision. They may also send the file back to the assessment provider if new medical evidence is sent, as DM's don't have medical knowledge so rely heavily on the HCP report. The assessment provider and their HCP are employed as the DWP "experts" which is why they place so much importance on their report.

who is the HCPn person please- the PIPS interviewer?0

Its strange that all pips interviewers claim they have no sway in any decision makers decision
which is of course nonsense
but who is the HCP
