    It means the MR request has been sent to a different decision maker. They will take another look at all your evidence, including the form you returned, as well as the assessment report and make another decision.

    Yes, lots of people are found to have LCWRA without medical evidence. Not everyone is able to get such evidence to support their claim.

    If the decision doesn't change then you can proceed to Tribunal.

    If you don’t have medical evidence then you can’t send something you don’t have. It’s not really needed anyway. Lots of people are found to have LCWRA without medical evidence.

    Hi please could you confirm what happens if they call me from dwp regarding MR and i won’t be able to pick up their phone call because this medication does make me sleepy during the day
    Will they sanction me then  
    Do they phone claimants during mr process 
    Thank you

    They don’t always ring when you request the MR so you shouldn’t expect them to do this. If they do happen ring and you don’t answer the phone then that’s fine, you won’t be sanctioned.

    Aww that's absolutely fantastic news @Agnia! This should have been the decision to start with and then you wouldn't have needed to go through all that stress!! At least now you can relax a little more knowing that your UC will increase and you will no longer have any appointments.
