Hi Ava

The decision of whether or not to argue normally depends on two main points. 1. How much fight do you have in you? (and only you can decide this and 2. A little bit of luck on who is reading your evidence (something you have zero control over.

You can argue any number of points but if it comes over as passive-aggressive (which it is easy for all of us to do when dealing with a poor report) - it can weaken your argument (even though you may be right).

So it's best to try and use as little emotion as possible, stick to the facts and state "The assessor said (their words from the PA4) but I said (your words from notes, recording or memory) and my account is in line with the evidence I submitted from Dr, X." or "They said I can do (their words from the PA4) but they are mistaken as I never do because of my (your medical condition) See letter from Consultant B which confirms I have (your medical condition).

You are still calling them out for their mistakes without accusing them of lying. Only you know how much you want to fight.

Hi Ava, BIS puts it well when he says "as little emotion as possible" I often use the words 'coldly state....' You have got to show why her conclusions are wrong. I'm not a mod but I would major on the strongest reason or two for each descriptor - ones for which you can refer to evidence the way BIS shows you. It will also keep it manageable to read, which in an overworked office is probably in your favour.

Thank you, that is helpful. I was wondering how I could tie my evidence in with my points. I will focus on the points that I have more evidence against.

Hi Ava

According to the government website, it should be site B www.gov.uk/disability-benefits-helpline.

Address the letter to the decision-maker.

Thank you, how should I address the envelope? do I put the decision maker on the evenlope not jut letter. I have a lot anxiety about addressing this, that it will be taken to a shop called "the decision maker" instead of PIP
