Challenging a PIP decision

[totally_pennyless]

Hi all,

 

Got the little brown letter through the post today - what a farce.

 

It certainly seems to me that they have been deliberately vague and limited in their reasoning. There is absolutely no detail, findings of fact and how those facts apply to the relevant descriptors. They may as well have simply said "sorry, your claim is refused" and it would have been just as meaningful.

 

What is the best way to go ahead challenging this? I understand the average MR request is successful.

 

Is it best to get the medical assessment report then put something in writing to the DWP? I understand I have around a month to do this.

 

Sincere thanks in advance.

Phone up and ask for the report written up by the person who did your assessment. You just need to phone the number on your letter (the 0345 one) and ask for it.
