No I don't have this? I just got the letter saying how many point etc I was given? How do I get this?

I only have till the 12th to do a MR and I'm away on holiday on Sunday..

Call the DWP... I advise people do it a day or two after their assessment itself. That report likely will be more explanative. But you gave impression to me you had the report (lack of facts etc suggested to me you may not)... as you don't you are assuming the DWP decision mirrors it (which it likely does but not necessarily) and are probably blind to key 'facts' or details obtained or claimed by the assessor that may help understand what has happened here.

I was under impression that the Mandatory Reconsideration process was put in place to avoid cases having to reach a formal tribunal. Ergo to save court action. That was the DWP polict intent as far as I remember.

No. 80% of MR decisions remain the same, so the chances of having to take it to Tribunal are very high.

So what is the purpose of the MR process?

to deter people from appealing?

i had a reconsideration of my last DLA supersession ..... but that was an informal one. they kept saying that no decision had been made even after i had received a letter stating that my award was unchanged,
when i complained ( because my time to ask for n ME was running out), a decision maker phoned me ( no the one that had decided my claim ... that DM was on holiday) and said they would re look at my claim. he then raised my award.

i don't doubt that if the DM hadn't looked at it again outside of the MR process, then i would have ended up having to appeal
