Is this okay for an MR letter?

So I am trying to write an MR letter using the resources here and chatGPT as I am really struggling right now. does this sound ok? I have to check for errors etc yet and its not edited as some of it is incorrect but it will be this letter with small adjustments. I am just not sure how much or what to include. I tend to write too much at times, don't include the information I need to and get sidetracked with stuff I don't need so trying it with the AI to see if I can make it shorter, my first attempt was 50 pages long so figured they wouldn't even read that.....

Thank you

Mandatory Reconsideration Request

To Whom It May Concern,

I request a Mandatory Reconsideration of the recent PIP decision dated [insert date]. The decision does not properly reflect my functional restrictions or apply the correct legal standards.

1. Errors of Law & Case Law

Focus on treatment not function – The decision states I have “no current specialist input.” Case law confirms entitlement is based on how conditions affect daily living and mobility, not whether treatment or referrals are in place (MH v SSWP [2016] UKUT 531 (AAC)).

Failure to apply reliability test – Activities must be possible safely, repeatedly, in a timely manner, and to an acceptable standard (Regulation 4(2A) of the PIP Regulations 2013). The report fails to consider this.

Over-reliance on assessment observation – CPIP/1882/2015 confirms a snapshot view cannot outweigh consistent evidence of daily limitations.

2. Guidance Ignored

NICE Guidelines – For ADHD, Fibromyalgia, and ME/CFS, NICE confirms significant impact on planning, memory, fatigue, and physical function. The decision disregards this.

DSM-5 (ADHD, anxiety disorders, fatigue-related conditions) – Impairments include inattention, executive dysfunction, and difficulty sustaining effort. These were overlooked.

DWP PIP Assessment Guide – Requires evidence from all sources, not assumptions. The assessor invented claims (e.g. “claimant can stand 10–15 minutes”) which were never asked or demonstrated.

3. Inaccuracies in the Report

Cooking/food – I do not prepare meals; I rely on cold food/snacks due to fatigue, pain, and executive dysfunction. I do not use alarms for food.

Communication & input – I avoid accessing input/appointments the majority of the time due to overwhelm and ADHD-related executive difficulties.

Finances – I rely on direct debits to manage bills but struggle with impulse spending linked to ADHD.

Personal care – Example of the Housing Executive shower shows I take longer than non-disabled people to wash, needing to reset it to finish. This illustrates extra time needed, not a lack of disability.

Observation – The assessor could not and did not see how I was dressed, yet included commentary.

Standing claim – The statement that I can stand 10–15 minutes was fabricated. I was never asked this.

Fatigue – Lack of yawning at assessment does not indicate absence of fatigue. I was distressed, and adrenaline suppressed visible tiredness.

4. Daily Impact

In reality, I:

Need prompting and support to manage food, personal care, dressing, and communication.

Cannot manage these activities safely, reliably, or in a timely manner.

Avoid social contact and external appointments due to overwhelm.

Struggle with fatigue, pain, and executive dysfunction most days, meaning difficulties occur on the majority of days.



---

5. Conclusion

The decision gives weight to absence of treatment, assumptions, and a short telephone observation, rather than the actual impact of my conditions on daily life. This is contrary to law, case law, and PIP guidance.

I respectfully request that my claim be reconsidered in line with the above evidence and the PIP Regulations.

Yours sincerely,
