# PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE PAYMENT APPEAL LETTER
Date: 12 July 2034
Parties: Leo Morgan and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
## 1. Purpose and parties
Leo Morgan, National Insurance number ending 441C, asks on 12 July 2034 for mandatory reconsideration of the Personal Independence Payment decision dated 25 June 2034. The decision awarded no points and said that his account did not show how his symptoms affected him reliably.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
Leo has multiple sclerosis diagnosed in 2028. During the three months before his claim and at the decision date, fatigue and leg weakness affected him on most days. He can stand and walk about 50 metres with a stick, but on four days each week he must stop after about 20 metres and needs several hours to recover.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
For preparing food, Leo can use a perching stool and microwave for a simple meal, but on at least five days each week he cannot safely chop ingredients or stand at a hob. His partner, Aisha Khan, prepares hot meals on those days; this is practical evidence, not a claim that every task is impossible.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Leo also needs a reminder and supervision to shower safely because fatigue causes him to lose balance. He fell twice in May, with bruising but no hospital attendance. The decision did not address the occupational therapist's functional report or Aisha's dated diary, both enclosed with this request.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
He asks the Department to reconsider each applicable activity using the statutory reliability tests of safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and within a reasonable time. He requests the assessment report, decision-making explanation and any evidence relied upon, subject to lawful redaction.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
Leo encloses the neurologist's letter of 2 April, the occupational therapist report of 18 May, a six-week symptom diary and Aisha's statement. He will attend a further assessment and will report changes honestly; he does not ask the Department to infer a fixed award from diagnosis alone.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This fictional completed request is dated 12 July 2034. Leo understands mandatory reconsideration normally precedes an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal and that a time limit applies; he will follow the decision notice and seek welfare-rights advice. Nothing here guarantees an award.
