I'm glad your decision was a good one @male45! It doesn't put me off as I know theres a chance that it may not go the way that I want, but fingers crossed. Thanks!

Hi, I submitted a written MR just over a week ago. I wrote it in a letter format, i didnt contact them. My letter was 4 pages long but it was necessary in my case to explain how my condition impacts my life as I dont believe the assessor or DM captured that properly. 
I made my pip claim also for mental health, i have read your example above about not being able to cook or prepare food. Whilst I 100% get where you're coming with this because unless a friend throws something in the oven for me I wont eat because the lack of desire to eat or do anything at all looms everyday, but that option is basically for people who physically cant do it and would need someone to cook for them. (Look at it from a life or death situation, (a bit extreme but i think this might help clarify) if I was told i needed to cook a full breakfast or i would be killed, i would be able to cook that breakfast, whilst someone with no use of their arms wouldnt be able to do it) 
I cant or prepare food because of my mental health, but in this section I was awarded "needs prompting" which in theory, is correct because I could if it was absolutely neccessary, I just dont do it every day. 
I think my situation is a little different to yours, I was awarded 11 points on my initial assessment and was given standard daily living but I believe i should be entitled to enhanced rate. 
I hope you get the decision you are after, I also hope they dont reject my MR and I have to go to a tribunal. The whole process has been so stressful xxx

It's too late now but 4 pages for just 1 activity is rather a lot of writing. Less is often more and keeping straight to the point with a couple of real life examples would have been all that's needed.
