    Once you have had a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) of any decision made by the DWP after you challenge a decision, you are sent a Mandatory Decision Notice. (MRN).
    You forward this, along with why you're not happy with the resolution to the Tribunals and Appeals Service (TAS).
    Then your appeal is heard by the them some-time later.


    Well well well well well:mad:I never had any of that roger.

    ICE have taken my complaints on but i suspect that they are not really independent and i will take it further through my MP if they sweep it under the carpet.

    LM, the appeal process was a bit different for decisiosn prior to Oct 2013, that might account for some - but not many - of the things that didn't happen with your claim.
  • Also my WCA was in feb 13 when the OLD regs were still in force but the dwp say because they only made a decision in june 13(the decision i have never had)i am under the NEW regs.Is this correct?

    It is the date of decision that counts, not the date of appeal. Anyway, it's pretty academic as it will not account for many of problems with your claim, I just wanted to explain that things might have been a bit different.

    This is a fairly meaningless point.
    If the claimant hasn't tried to appeal - there will be no MRN - as there has been no MR.
    The process of appealing starts out with contesting a decision - which does not have to have a copy of the decision letter.
    This is always done through the DWP.

    Then a MRN is in principle sent by the DWP, and the rest kicks off. but we're not at that stage yet.

    The initial point in the appeal - whether or not there has been a letter sent after a decision - is exactly the same.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say, are you saying that your point is meaningless, or this discussion is meaningless?

    The bottom line is, you cannot appeal until you have done a MR.
    After the MR, the appeal begins.
    If you appeal to TAS without a MRN it will be thrown out and you will be told to do a MR or send a MRN.

    You know this as well as any of us so why are you complicating matters?

    I went to an appeal without getting a MRN

    Because you are under old rules, your decision was June 2013.

    What exact date did the new rules start?Was there any sort of paperwork need in the old rules before you went to appeal?Did the actual appeal hearing change when the new rules came in?and if so,how?
