Does anyone have a percentage of positive outcomes for pip mandatory reconsiderations? Trying to decide whether it's worth my bother! Thanks

I don't have figures at hand... some do succeed but chances aren't probably as good as at appeal tribunal where perhaps half have joy. So many a claimant will imagine the MR to be a necessary step to enabling that appeal while having healthy consideration that with good argument, clever challenge and possibly new evidence that they can persuade another DWP Decision Maker to take a fresh look to useful effect."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0

I don't have the actual figures either but most MR's remain the same. Very few people manage to get the decision changed at this stage.0

80% of DWP MR's remain unchanged.
However, at tribunal 65% of PIP appeals succeed (having been refused at MR stage).Alice Holt Forest situated some 4 miles south of Farnham forms the most northerly gateway to the South Downs National Park.0 -
Hi, so how do I go about doing a MR? Can I just phone? I don't have any evidence so to speak but I had a nearly 2 hour assessment and the points were clearly covered by myself so I'm a bit taken back why I didn't get the points.
Also things on the report like 2 points for using the toilet!? She asked if I can use the toilet and I said yes no problem though they still gave me 2 points for this.
and.. If you as for a MR are you asking them to look at the whole claim again or just the points you're asking them to look at?
Thanks!0 -

You can phone but I would strongly advise you to write keeping a copy. Keep the letter fairly simple to read but stating all the facts.
When you ask for MR they look at the whole award again not just those points you disagree with.Master Apothecary Faranell replied, “I assure you, overseer, the Royal Apothecary Society dearly wishes to make up for the tragic misguidance which ended so many lives. We will cause you no trouble. We seek only to continue our research in peace".0 -
