MR - do you still get the current award?

Hi,

I have received the assessment report (it only took a day to arrive the in post - I was very surprised), have added up my points and read the assessors comments very carefully.

If the decision maker goes with the report (which I believe they do most of the time), then I would be awarded only standard daily living.

There are several of the descriptors where I disagree with the points and the comments, so I already know I will put in for a MR (unless the decision maker awards more points than the assessor, which is unrealistic).

Would I be paid the award given whilst going through a MR and maybe a tribunal?

    Yes, for the MR. What you get while waiting for a tribunal depends on the outcome of the MR.

    Thank you.

    For the MR, can I send in additional evidence to support why I think I should have been awarded a certain descriptor? Or will they only consider the evidence they currently have?

    You can send extra evidence at anytime.

    Thank you  :)

    I'm going to start compiling it all now.

    How long would a MR take, from when I declare to Pip that I want one?

    That's not as long as I thought it could be

    Is an MR done via post or an online portal? My original pip forms were all done online

    You can either use this form https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/challenge-a-decision-made-by-the-department-for-work-and-pensions-dwp and then print it and send it. Or you can write a letter and send it to PIP. You should state exactly where and why you think you should have scored those points.
