Mandatory Reconsideration requests was created by Flopot
Hello,
One aspect of the Mandatory Reconsideration process I am uncertain about is when to ask for a copy of the Assessment report and any other evidence that was used by the Department in reaching a PIP decision.
It seems logical to me that I should ask for the Assessment report first (along with other evidence) and use that to prepare new evidence before asking for a mandatory consideration. Otherwise I'd be afraid of the Department running off a Mandatory Reconsideration before receiving any new evidence.
So with regards a family member's case, should the process be as follows after receiving an unsatisfactory PIP decision:
1. Request by phone/writing a copy of evidence that was used to reach decision
2. Prepare response with new evidence/argument
3. Request a mandatory reconsideration by phone/writing and send in new evidence.
Thank you for your time
regards
F.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Yes, I would request a copy of the assessment report first but they need to be aware that the normal period for requesting an MR is one month from the date of the Decision.
I would make the MR request in writing. There are template requests that they can use in the MR & Appeal Submissions document in the PIP area.
