Mandatory recon request invalid?
Cl submitted a (late) MR request re an ESA decision taken before 28/10/13. DWP decided it was invalid becuase it should have been an ordinary recon request rather than mandatory, took NFA and did not contact the client. Is there any reason they could not treat it as a good old fashioned ordinary recon request?
No there isn’t. To quote Lord Steyn, from another case, “this is legalism and conceptualism run riot”.
Oh for heaven’s sake.
