Hello
I put a claim for PIP in May 2020 and was awarded standard daily living for 3 years and no mobility, on a paper base assessment.

At the time I knew I want to appeal.
But I find it hard expressing my wishes and hard communicating with people so I didn’t follow up.
In December I was in a slightly better space and so tried to request a mandatory reconsideration. I wrote a letter explaining my conditions made it harder for me to get support with requesting it and that was why it was late and I detailed the points I felt I should have received and why.

I got a letter today telling me my reason for late mandatory reconsideration request isn’t accepted.
Is there anything I can do or is this the end of the line?

Hi there
Sorry to hear about your situation
Does it say anything in the letter about appealing the decision
I'm not too sure but I think you can take it to tribunal

@calcotti thanks for the info was no such thing as doing it online when I did mine
How times move on for DWP even about time they started to come into 21st century
Always amazed me why they dont use email lot easier especially for those unable to use phone -

Knowing how difficult it is to manage what comes into an email account I have some sympathy with DWP not having email as an option.

Hi @piprejected - if you have got rid of your Mandatory Reconsideration letter, you could ring the DWP on 0800 121 4433 & ask for a copy.When completing the form either online, or to post, you just need to explain that 'although your Mandatory Reconsideration was late, it was within 13 months, & was not considered, so you wish to pursue your right to appeal.'So you are now at the next stage after a Mandatory Reconsideration, & going straight to an appeal.
