All activities must be done reliably and for the majority of the time not to score points, so if there are areas of the report that you do not believe took this into account then you should certainly mention them, but your primary goal has got be to be that you meet the legal criteria to score the points that you believe you should have received,

If it is would it be a good idea to explain that I didn't feel I completed the sums in a timely manner and that on one of the sums I was getting very frustrated because I couldn't concentrate. I also had to resort to using my fingers to try and figure it out. The sum was 93 - 7.
Thanks for all your advice so far.
The benefits and work guides have been really helpful.

Hi, Sorry to bother you again.
I'm having problems with how to argue the HP's assessment about my cognitive, intellectual condition. On budgeting decisions I put that I have difficulties with remembering things and that when I've received bills in the post I put them to one side and forget about them. The assessor makes the point of saying throughout the assessment that I have no cognitive or intellectual condition. Could I argue that I don't feel the assessment was long enough to be able to make that decision about me?
Thanks for any help.

I think you are approaching this from the wrong direction, you need to show that you do have a cognitive or intellectual condition which would result in your having poor memory which impacts on your ability to carry out budgeting decisions.
Arguing the assessors comments, especially where they are stating an opinion is unlikely to be successful and more importantly will not result in your scoring points, you can only score points by showing that you meet the criteria to do so.

Hi Gordon,
I've just received the mandatory reconsideration and it's still the same. I sent them further evidence but they didn't wait for that before they made there decision. Are they allowed to do that? I'm still happy to have received an award of standard daily. It will be reviewed in a year so I'll make sure I give plenty of evidence when they assess me again. Thank you for the great guides, they were a huge help and I wouldn't of received an award without them.
Merry Christmas

It is unfortunately quite a common occurrence, the decision is of course yours, but you can complain and ask for a second MR to be carried out, it really depends on how significant you think the contents of the letter are.
