The decision you want looked at again
If your PIP, Universal Credit, or disability benefit was refused or set too low, you can ask for it to be looked at again before you appeal. This letter makes that request. Tell us which decision and why you think it is wrong.
This letter will cite
Mandatory Reconsideration (DWP, England & Wales / GB) under the Decisions and Appeals Regulations 2013; redetermination by Social Security Scotland (Adult Disability Payment); Mandatory Reconsideration by the Department for Communities (Northern Ireland).
This is the required step before an independent tribunal can hear an appeal. There is a time limit — usually one calendar month from the date on your decision letter (42 days for a Scottish Adult Disability Payment redetermination).
The body that decides your claim and the appeal route differ across the UK, so this changes your letter.
This helps them find your claim quickly. Do not include it if you would rather not.
