Mandatory reconsideration turned down

Hi Lala,
Get the HCP report as well, and compare it with DWP DM report.
If it has a lot which is not true, put that in with your appeal as well.

Hi
Did not see the reply and have sent in my tribunal form with a support letter from my family .... Wish I waited now

Hi

Hi Apricot,

Hi L125,

It is The PA4 PIP Medical Report, that is compiled by The PIP Assessor (Health Care Professional. (HCP) ) (ATOS or Capita) at the PIP face to face, and then sent to The DWP PIP Decision Maker (DM) (Case Manager) who makes the final PIP Decision.

HCP is a term used more for ESA Assessors and is a misnomer, as they do not provide any care.

PIP Assessors tend be called Health Professionals. (HP's)

Hi L125,

You really shouldn't be having so many problems obtaining a copy of The PA4 PIP Medical Report.

Have you used a Subject Access Request (SAR) Form ? :

SAR Form Download

From this page :

DWP Data Protection Policy

Or you can make the request in the form of a letter, as long as you make it clear that you are making a formal SAR under The Data Protection Act 1998.

Address the envelope : FAO The Data Controller, at the Benefits Office dealing with your PIP.

Write DPA 1998 SAR in front, top, left corner of envelope.

Once received, they have 40 calendar days to comply.

Sending Documents to the DWP.

If they have not complied with your SAR within the 40 Days, you can make a compliant to : The Information Commissioner's Office. (ICO)
