In line with all this, do many decisions get changed at the letter asking for mandatory reconsideration stage?. We are doing this as I now understand it, it's the 1st stage in the appeal process.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Only 18% are successful, so it's rare and most have to take it to Tribunal.cyclonebri1 wrote: »In line with all this, do many decisions get changed at the letter asking for mandatory reconsideration stage?. We are doing this as I now understand it, it's the 1st stage in the appeal process.0 -

Unfortunately, you can't take it to Tribunal without asking for the MR first. When requesting the Tribunal you need the MR decision letter.cyclonebri1 wrote: »Thanks, I was expecting that, but if that's the process.........0 -

Just to end this, I sent in the letter at the time I posted last, the reply arrived Friday last.
Up the 18% figure by a point or 2 as it was successful and a 10 point mobility decision was increased to 12. Had it not been I'm doubtful I would have appealed as I'd fired all my bullets in the lengthy mandatory letter I replied with. It was based on the ability to judge walking ability over time inline with the guidelines I'd read.
Thanks again to all who helped.
Just as an aside, do all letters from the DWP arrive in the Friday post? I have had to deal with a number of issues with them and I think without fail the brown envelope has arrived on Friday. To give a couple of days cooling of period before writing in if the decision isn't what was hoped for perhaps?I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
