If you have any evidence that supports your case include a copy with your letter. If you don’t, send the letter anyway.

Don’t be put off! 

Some people find that that after they have sent the DWP the mandatory reconsideration request, they get a phone call from someone at the DWP who tries to explain why they think they have made the right award. If this happens to you, be polite but don’t allow them to put you off. Ask them to continue with the reconsideration.

Some people are also told that they need to provide further medical evidence in order to have a chance of getting the decision changed. This is also not true. Ask them to continue with the reconsideration.
