Quick PIP question

Hi Steve

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is.

Welcome to Benefits and Work .

From you post I am not 100% sure where you are, are we talking about an assessment or are we talking about asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration?

PIP assessments can last for a short period of time if the assessors have the information and only want clarification on issues raised.

When you phone for a MR they usually ask what points you are not happy with and if you have further supporting documents to add. It is usually better to request a MR in writing, I usually use the form called a CRMR1 form, but you can make the request by letter or by phone.

Hi Steve

Good luck with your MR, let us know how you get on.

Not to put a dampener on things but the success rate for a MR is quite low, about 17%. If you do not get the result you hoped for then you can appeal, we do have some very good guides.

If you want to appeal a Decision then you must either complete an SSCS1 form or request the appeal via the Tribunal Service's online system.

Our appeal guides explain the process and have links to the form. The Submissions document has completed examples of the form.
