Hi Mods,
When asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration on this matter do I have to state on what grounds ?

It should be enough to say "I want to request a Mandatory Reconsideration of the Decision of dd mmm yyy to remove my award of DLA".
If you want you can provide additional information but if you do it will extend the MR period by four weeks.
Have you managed to get advice about this issue yet?

Hi Gordon,
No I hav,nt not yet CAB are very very busy in my area, so I will right and as for a MR just to get the wheels in motion I have been a bit reluctant as I still do not know what my penality will be as it could mean I have to pay back 14 months of DLA MC which is in the thousands and as you know I am still waiting for tribunal for ESA 20 months on and counting £71 70 a week doesn't stretch far without the help of my dad and children I really don't know where I,d be . My Mental Health Councilor cannot believe this kind of thing is happening to people.

Chrissy just joining this thread. I cant offer any advice but I feel sick for you reading of your experience. I'm so sorry this is happening to you & will be hoping & praying for a good outcome for you asap.
If it were me I would forget CAB & get a solicitor, & quick!

I know it might seem obvious to turn to a solictor in these circumstances and that is certainly the correct advice in regard to any interview under caution, but the vast majority of solicitors have no understanding of benefit law and procedures and you may spend a lot of money on someone who is fundamentally unable to help you in this situation. There are of course solicitors that do have experience of the benefit system, but you need to check their credentials before using there services.
Benefit appeals are an area where a trained benefit advisor may well be the best option to go with.
