Mandatory Reconsideration.. Urgent help needed!

PBR

You have one month from the date of the Decision to request an MR, this is defined in law and cannot be extended. You can make a Late request for an MR up to 13 months after the Decision but you will need to provide reasons for the Late request and the DWP may not accept these.

Once you have made a request the DWP can allow you extra time to provide evidence and testimony for your MR, they usually allow 28 days but this does include postage time, in practice you may have longer but you should not rely on this.

Hi PBR Street Gang

The 10 weeks is the time frame DWP have given you to allow them to reconsider your claim. What they may have done is used your phone call as a request for a MR, unless you said on the phone that your call was not a request for a MR. If you have any additional supporting documents then still send them in.

It will be interesting to see what the contents of the DWP letter says.

Hi PBR Street Gang

The way I go about completing a MR is I go through the assessors report carefully with a highlight pen highlighting anything that is incorrect, once I have completed the report I then complete a CRMR1 form assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/governm...sion-made-by-dwp.PDF, you can use extra pages but make sure they have your name and national insurance number on each page and number the pages if it is more than one, I also write cont: on the bottom of the page if I used extra sheets and write continuation on the top of the page of the extra sheet of paper along with name and NI number.

As stated at the begining of this thread, use our guides to help you get through the MR process, they are well written and will take you through the process step by step.

Keep a copy of the CRMR1 form when you send it off.
