Rang DWP

Gordon, I thought that I could ask for them to reconsider the PA4 before it got to the MR stage? Although I suspect that they don’t even bother to look at it seeing as so many people have to go for the MR, & tribunal.

I understood that I couldn’t do an MR unless I’d got the decision letter? I haven’t got it, I’ve only had the PA4. When I rang & asked DWP when I would get the decision letter, they said that it wouldn’t be for at least another 6 weeks. So meanwhile I thought I could do this, they agreed. They said I could do it over the phone but I wanted to put it in writing as there’s quite a bit to go through, plus I’d got more evidence.

Gordon, so should I call again & they can take details? They did take details but I said I’d put it in writing as there’s about 20 pages. I suppose I should’ve just narrowed it down, but I didn’t think that there’d be enough info, unless they called me back & queried this. They seemed very keen for me to send the paperwork in. Sorry, I’ve been working on this for weeks & it’s taken it’s toll on me.

Thanks Chris.

I’ve gone back to having yet another 🙄 look at it. After reading it many times some of it sounds very far fetched. If it wasn’t true it would be almost laughable. Then there’s the communications & going out that are linked, so I keep thinking that whilst I want to explain clearly, I don’t want to repeat.

Well, well, well, I only got my hard copy of the PA4 in the post today, Special Delivery. I only rang DWP yesterday, so unless it was already on its way they must’ve rushed it out. Although highly unlikely.

I’ve also had a letter about my Access Request. They say they will respond within a month.

Thanks Chris.

That’s in the post now. I’ve followed up with a call, & got to speak to 3 people. They took notes of my reconsideration. Now I’m worried that they may just look at that & not bother looking at the letter. I have visions of them balancing on 2 legs of their chair, whilst laughing, & tearing it up. They tried their best to get me to wait for the MR. I don’t know what we’d all do without B&W, thanks so much everyone.
