Dear Mr Cordell
Your Mandatory Reconsideration Notice
You or someone who has the authority to act for you, asked us to look again at the decision
we sent on 19-Apr-2017.
We have taken into account all the information available.
We have changed our decision and you will be seen with a separate letter with details of your
revised award.
An explanation of our Mandatory Reconsideration decision is set out below.
The reasons for this decision
Mandatory Reconsideration - Incapacity Benefit (Credits) / Income Support
Reassessment.
I have looked at all of the available evidence and I have been able to revise the original
decision dated 19-Apr-2017 and therefore; you have shown good cause for failing to
attend a Work Capability Assessment on 06-Mar-2017.
You did not attend a Work Capability Assessment on 06-Mar-2017. On 19-Apr-2017, the
original Decision Maker considered all of the available evidence but decided that you had not
shown good cause for failing to attend the assessment.
As a consequence, your award of Incapacity Benefit/National Insurance (Incapacity) Credits
and Income Support did not qualify for conversion to Employment and Support Allowance
under Regulation 23(2) of the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2008 and
was terminated from and including 16-May-2017.
We received a request from you asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration on 26-Apr- 2017.

3174,
Your request stated that you are unable to leave the house to attend an assessment due to your
mental health condition. You have submitted a letter from your GP dated 26-Apr-2017
requesting a home assessment. I have examined all the evidence in support of the Mandatory
Reconsideration request. You will now be given another opportunity to participate in a Work
Capability Assessment.
My decision is that you have shown good cause for failing to attend a Work Capability
Assessment on 06-Mar-2017. Your award of Incapacity Benefit/National Insurance
(Incapacity) Credits and Income Support are reinstated from and including 16-May-2017.
Arrears of any benefit due to you as a result of this decision may be adjusted by the amount
of any other benefit paid to you for the same period.
