# UNIVERSAL CREDIT MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION
Date: 4 October 2033
Parties: Elliot Green and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
## 1. Purpose and parties
I, Elliot Green of 12 Maple Court, Sheffield S6 3RN, request a mandatory reconsideration of the Universal Credit decision dated 18 September 2033, notified in my journal on 20 September. The decision says I have limited capability for work but not limited capability for work-related activity and places me in the work-preparation group. I disagree with that descriptor and ask for the decision to be reviewed.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
My claim began on 3 May 2033 after spinal surgery on 27 April. The work capability assessment took place by telephone on 11 September. On 8 September I supplied a consultant letter describing nerve pain, medication side effects and inability to sit or stand for more than 15 minutes; on 25 September my physiotherapist supplied a functional report. I ask the decision-maker to consider both documents and the assessment report.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
During the relevant period I could not reliably mobilise 50 metres, repeat the activity within a reasonable time, or remain at a workstation for a normal working day without increased pain and rest. I am not saying that every activity is impossible or that the condition will never improve. My case is that the relevant descriptors and substantial-risk provisions have not been applied to the evidence.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
The decision means I must undertake work-preparation activity while my symptoms remain unstable. I can use my journal and attend reasonable appointments, but a mandatory activity that requires travel or sustained sitting could cause a substantial risk of deterioration. I ask for tailored, medically informed requirements and for any work-related activity to be paused or adjusted while this reconsideration is determined.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
Please provide the assessment report and identify the evidence relied upon. Please reconsider the descriptors, any points calculation and the effective date, and issue a written mandatory-reconsideration notice. If the original outcome is maintained, please explain each disputed finding and tell me how to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, including the time limit and how my award and claimant commitment are treated pending appeal.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
I have reported the surgery and fit notes through my journal and will continue supplying fit notes if required. I will attend a further assessment with reasonable notice and request adjustments for telephone or written communication. This request does not ask the Department to accept a diagnosis without functional evidence, and I understand entitlement and work-related requirements depend on the legislation and facts.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This completed fictional request is dated 4 October 2033 and concerns a Universal Credit decision in England. It is not a guarantee of a limited-capability element or an instruction to stop engaging with my work coach. I reserve appeal and backdating arguments, ask that no adverse compliance action be taken solely because this review is pending, and will comply with lawful interim directions.
