Hi there
I think you know the answer you need to wait for decision letter and then put in mr if needed
There is advice in our pip section on appealing a decision which may help
Good luck the decision may be different but they do usually go with the report -
Hello & welcome to the community @sidkab - once you get your decision letter, it mentions Mandatory Reconsiderations at the end. There's also some advice here: https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Challenging-a-Personal-Independence-Payment-decisi/Ask-for-Mandatory-ReconsiderationLet us know when you get your decision letter, & if a Mandatory Reconsideration is in fact needed, we can advise. You could also check here to see if you could get any help with this either from Citizens Advice or Welfare Rights. Please see: https://advicelocal.uk/

Thank you for advice @chiarieds and @janer1967
I will wait for letter to arrive but I will need help through the MR process as it’s my first time to apply for this benefit. -
We'll certainly be pleased to offer advice @sidkab or try the advicelocal link above.

Hello and welcome @sidkab
If you need to submit a MR, you'll have one month from the date on your decision letter to request it, although that deadline can be extended.
I'd advise going through the assessment report and picking out where you feel as though you should have earned points, so that you can include that information in your MR to explain why the decision is wrong. If you want to see information about the descriptors and points, you can view this helpful Citizens Advice page.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?
