Disability Rights UK webinar videos for advisers on Mandatory Reconsideration.
The webinar covers:
- the rules about mandatory reconsideration
- problems with mandatory reconsideration
- potential remedies and challenges to these problems
It is designed for support workers and advisers and anyone in the voluntary sector who is advising and assisting claimants with challenging decisions on social security benefits.
This is a recording is of the main presentation in three parts.
There is more about the subject in our factsheet on mandatory reconsideration appeals and mandatory reconsideration and in the CPAG Welfare Rights Bulletin article.
The main question discussed in the webinar is what you can do as an employment and support allowance (ESA) claimant when your ESA stops while the DWP do the mandatory reconsideration before you appeal.
The other question is what you can do if you are late in asking for a revision and the DWP refuses to allow it and you are then barred from taking your case to the independent First-tier Tribunal.
“Excellent training as always by Disability Rights UK. Very clear and easy to follow. The trainers Robbie and Ken were very knowledgeable and with many relevant tips to try to solve Mandatory Reconsideration problems. They covered all the points I wanted to learn about.”
“Well conducted and it was easy to make questions and to obtain the answers. Hope there are more trainings like these. Excellent way to do trainings. Thank you.”
“This was an incredibly positive experience. I have serious health issues that make getting out problematic, being able to take part from home was very, very helpful. Perhaps the DWP and Job Centre plus could do this for those claimants unable to get to a Job Centre!”
