<p>There is no statutory time limit for DWP to complete a request for mandatory reconsideration.
We deliberately do not have one as each case will be considered on its merits. Some
will require days, others will require longer, for example to gather additional evidence.
We want to ensure we take the right amount of time to get the right decision. Our
expectation remains that the process should be completed without any unnecessary delay.</p><p>
</p><p>We intend to develop proposals for internal performance benchmarks once we
have processed more volumes of mandatory reconsiderations, and reliable data is available
on which to base an internal target.</p>
