    I scored O in my home assessment, I am not going to appeal as its too painful to go through this pointless exercise! what I would say instead of them sending freelance assessors who have no knowledge of my condition and therefore cannot give a truthful assessment. It was commented on that I do read, when in fact I don't, I ask my husband to go over any mail I receive, and because there was a keyboard in the room with music I was asked if I could read music, short answer I learnt how to do this in my early teenage years. Its not something you forget, and it doesn't mean I'm any good! Basically you have to answer the door, in a mess, go back to bed and answer the questions from there. The fact the I engaged with the person went totally against me! What has society come to I still have Primary Progressive MS - I still walk with a stick, I do not walk anywhere due to lack of mobility. I also suffer with fatigue and other issues. All of which is irrelevant according to PIP DWP

    Thanks for your comments, it has lifted me to make the call and request a Mandatory Consideration Notice. which I believe they re-look and then it goes to 2nd phase of tribunal - I suppose they hope for most not to appeal etc...

    Thanks again pollyanna1052 and corblimey - 'No Human is Limited' we battle on for another go.....

    MR is first followed by first Tier Tribunal, most MR decisions remain the same so it's highly likely you'll need to take it to Tribunal. Appearing in person will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour. Goodluck.
    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.

    don’t waste your time thinking the mandatory reconsideration is going to be of any use , I tried those 3 time I believe , and it was the same result , just like you , even with the medical evidence from hospital doctors and specialists MRI and xrays and my GP. according to the DWP and ATOS there was absolutely nothing wrong with me , to say it’s mind blowing is an understatement and to make matters worse the DWP took the words of a “ nurse” over specialists and doctors,, focus on the tribunal not the DWP or ATOS that’s wasting your time 

    just send them any old rubbish as no doubt they’re going to refuse, it’s the tribunal you want

    Hi glad to hear the forum has helped you. I can only tell from my experience and i have been through  two MR and won both. 
    Being refused in the first place does deflate you and going to next stage MR can be exhausting and the long waiting times are frustrating but you seem to have got your fight back.....good for you keep going

    Hi @LindaButler1970, I can understand you feeling completely defeated after receiving this result. It cannot have been easy to read, but this doesn't mean you are not entitled to PIP. 

    The decision to appeal is completely yours, but the community will be here to support you. :)
