Advice with Mandatory Reconsideration with PIP

I failed my PIP assessment and now I have the option for Mandatory Reconsideration before I can appeal. Would I be better to send letters and documents from Support Worker and Therapist to the DWP for the Mandatory Reconsideration or wait until I have appealed?
Also is it possible to file a complaint over the assessor's lies? Because my Support Worker was a witness that I was a nervous wreck at the face to face assessment. Please advise.

Hi,Yes, send evidence with the MR request letter. There's only a 19% chance of the MR decision changing but i really don't see any point in waiting to send the evidence, as advised on your other thread.Concentrate on the MR first, then make your complaint to the health assessment providers later. Don't expect them to do anything though because mostly they don't.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Thanks for the advise.
I am going to get myself a better welfare rights officer because the welfare rights officer I got from my local council was totally hopeless with sending outdated medical evidence to the DWP and she didn't even appear at my appeal. Instead she sent someone else in her place.
I feel that because I am not taking any medication this appeal might go against me again even though I am seeking therapy and got a support worker. -

I phoned my Support Worker and she will write me a letter telling the DWP about my anxiety, depression and panic disorder and how it affects my day to day life. I also got myself a Welfare Rights Officer and have an appointment with him this week. However, even though I am seeking therapy I am not taking any medication which I fear may go against my claims for MR and appeal.

I complained bed to capita about my assessor & the lies she wrote about my assessment. It didn’t go any good, didn’t even acknowledge my complaint, why? Cos they know about it, the assessors are told to lie, they don’t care about us as human beings, we’re numbers that’s all. I’m starting my tribunal appeal this Thursday, my local CAB are helping me! Very best of luck to you though x

I hope my Tribunal is a lot better than last time because last time the Judge decided to base his final decision on irrelevant medical info that was outdated and lied about the missing audio recording to cover his back when I asked for statement of reason.
Anyway, best of luck to you too.
