PIP MRs
I’ve just been advised by someone on the PIP helpline that mandatory reconsiderations have to be registered by phone and any letters sent are treated as further information and not as the mandatory reconsideration request that it actually is.
Anyone else heard of this?
I posted an MR request at the end of November 2018 which was registered as an MR at the beginning of February 2019!! And now we’ve been told the waiting time for reconsideration is 12 weeks from registration which is double what the phone message says. So will be 5 months to get a decision. Starting to despair here…...
