Are all the decision makers based in one location or are they spread out across Northern Ireland? Seems to be a lot of people on here and other pages from the County Armagh/Fermanagh and Tyrone areas waiting a long time for a decision1

I have received my report no point for anything but assessor contradicts herself in what she wrote in justification for descriptor choice ??? I’m confused so getting prepared for MR0

baggsy26-was this a home visit or which centre had u to go to? how long where u kept? it appears they are spending less time on home visits than at the centres mine lasted 55 mins-my rep0rt same as yours she contradicts herself on few points so d/action girl said m/appeal in but can take 8-10 weeks in a lot of cases -m/appeal is sent to limavady and then goes back to an assessor in dwp-not one that saw oridginal report but d/action said only 18% of appeals overturned- will have to go to tribuneral and waiting time at moment is around 10 months from they recieve appeal in omagh or belfast0

Do you actually have another assessment or is it just looked at by someone else don’t know how it works ?0
-
When requesting the MR you should put the request in writing stating where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Adding 2-3 real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each activity that applies to you.Avoiding mentioning any lies that may have been told in the report because DWP and Tribunal won't be interested in any of those.There's no re-assessment when requesting the MR and your report is very rarely returned to the assessment providers. Another decision maker will look at the report and make a decision. Usually they remain the same with a copy on paste from the original decision. Most people end up taking it to Tribunal.0

@poppy123456 thank you for the reply I will ask for MR0
-
@poppy123456 is it worth trying to get some medical evidence to send0
-
Yes, they very rarely contact anyone for any evidence.

Ok thanks it would ave been far easier if they had contacted my consultant or gp they have all the evidence thanks for the support I’ll keep you informed0
-
No problem. It's the claimants responsibility to prove they qualify, not theirs.

I was advised to get all of mine and I think this actualy helped me.poppy123456 said:Yes, they very rarely contact anyone for any evidence.
