I am about to ask for a PIP MR. There are a lot of contradictions and assumptions in the HP's medical report. In my case we are talking mental health. She said initially at the assessment that the reason for the interview was that the low dosage of meds was not consistent with my condition. She was an Occupational Therapist who claimed to have worked in a Psychiatric Ward. She added that there were stronger or new meds I should be using. Now I am taking meds prescribed by my GP but this person with no authority to prescribe meds is opposing my GP's advice. How can I use this in my MR?
I'm afraid I don't think it is a winning issue. If the assessor has marked you down because of your medication then this may be something that you can argue against, but if not then I'm sure what the value is if they didn't.
Both the MR and appeal are about you showing that you meet the criteria to score the points you need so make sure that you have shown this on your form and if not correct the issues in your MR.
I'm not saying to ignore the report, there may be issues that need addressing, but the question to ask yourself is will this help me score points of not.
