For example, the department is running a series of trials which looks at the end to end PIP decision making process with a particular focus on MR and explores the different ways we can improve the quality of our decision making.</p><p> </p><p>However, it is important that claimants can appeal their award decision if they are unhappy with it. Moreover, a request for an appeal does not mean that the decisions taken initially and as part of Mandatory Reconsideration were not right. Claimants often provide new, relevant evidence at the tribunal stage.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 24/03/2017 14:27:52 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
