Asked for mandatory reconsideration and sent all evidence off which they received yesterday but rang today to find out if they actually had and its been scanned and apparently gone back to the assessors does that mean I've gotta go through the whole degrading assessment again as I'm freaking out as my severe anxiety is playing up

No they will give to another DWP Assessor to look at the evidence again.

I don't know if it's routine to send MR requests to assessors or only in certain cases.
-
To be honest i have never heard of the assessors looking at MR.
-
I never sent doctors or therapist letters with my original form as I couldn' afford it and the guideines tell you not to pay any fees for evidence as they'l get it which they never contact my GP or therapist for any evidence so had to run round to get doctors letters and therapist letters before they made a re decision
-
Oh ok maybe they need to look at medical evidence again. I know they scan your paper work at the post handling site. Papers are then looked at again by dwp.

The decision maker at the DWP will have sent it to the assessing company to comment on.

I too followed the rules like you believing that the DWP would get the evidence if it helped make the right decision. What evidence I did have I made sure that it was not older than 24 months and didn't send anything in that they had already seen over the years.
As a result in the past 5 years since I turned 65 in 2013 I have had 3 re-assessments (previously on DLA High Mobility & Care) and had three failures. The first two were increased to Enhanced Mobility & Care, but the third still stays at ZERO.
I have given up and didn't bother to appeal - just couldn't cope. I feel better now that I am out of the system even though we are down about £200 a week and the Motability car is gone.

This is awfull i thought pip was for making our lives more independant and liveable i am about to send papers to tribunal but its taking me so long because the stress of it makes me more ill and isolated no wonder some people just give upHugz to everyone xx

I think that is why they refuse to awarded it so often, they know that not everyone will go through all the hassle of mandotary reconsideration and appeal, it makes a person suffering from anxiety and depression worse and more likely to give up. I know It is making me feel this way.

I have sent my papers for apeal and have spent the last few days sleeping the depression away, i got my complaint back from capita about my health asessor basically it supports the health asessor because of course she isnt going to admit she didnt ask me to do certain exercises and she is fully trained being a nurse for the nhs but little do they know that i worked for the nhs before i fell ill and she did not work with the core values of the nhs present, i am just sooooooo fed up with fighting and having to prove my disabilities, it just makes me focus on what i cant do and how ill i feel instead of making me feel optimistic about what treatment i can try next its a very unfair process Hugs to all xxHugz to everyone xx
