PIP appeal - do they even read the MR - confused was created by big_vern
So I remain on standard mobility after submitting an MR a few months ago, got the decision today.
I am massively confused.
The "My decsion" made no specific reference to the MR, just saying "We have reviewed the evidence including the assessment report.." then mentions other evidence but not the MR.
So do they even read the MR, ??
I ask because of page 5 is says "if you appeal and your appeal is accepted, we will look at our decision again to consider any new evidence that you have sent"
What does this mean, they have not considered the MR submission (or they say they have but just haven't really read it)
What do they mean by "new" evidence - as again they made no mention of the MR is that what they mean?
I did a full MR with help (I can no longer afford) and don't know what else I can send
So is it worth appealing ?
IF so can you advise on the online appeal I got to the point where it asks
"What you disagree with
Why you disagree with it"
with a bit that says "write as much as you want"
Do I keep this short and refer to the MR or paste in the MR, all the reasons were in the MR (15 pages long)

Hi big_vern
It is always worth appealing , the odds of receiving a positive outcome from a MR is around 20%
Your question, "do they read MR's" is a good one, but I cannot give you an answer as the number of successful appeals shows that they really cannot take all the information into account.
I always tell claimants to complete the appeal the same as you did for your mandatory, even if it is 15 pages long, if you have any new supporting documents upload them to your appeal.
