Recommendation
Giving people sufficient time to gather relevant evidence for their claim could reduce the stress involved for claimants and improve the quality of information available to the assessment provider. In turn this could lead to better initial decisions and reduce the number of Mandatory Reconsiderations due to either unreturned forms, or missing evidence. DWP should extend the deadline for returning ESA50, UC50 and PIP2 forms and accompanying evidence to two months.
