Hi, my name is Karoly and i am unsure if someone could help me on this.
I twisted my knee in 2021 december and torn the meniscus. I had issues with my knee before from an accident but now i am barely able to walk and any movement is painfull even with painkillers. The Doctor decided i will have surgery on the knee. Universal credit did assessement and they told me the decision is i am fit for work. I can only walk for small distances and need to stop due pain and knee giving in. I have trouble sleeping-recived Amitriptyline and even with it i struggle. I am quite depressed and isolated at the moment. Do i have a chance to challenge the decision or there is anything i can do?
Sorry if it is written not perfect, English is not my first language.

You can challenge the decision
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/benefits-introduction/problems-with-benefits-and-tax-credits/challenging-benefit-decisions/challenging-a-decision-by-the-dwp-or-hmrc/challenging-a-benefit-decision-mandatory-reconsideration/
Most MRs stay the same. If that is the case you can appeal to tribunal service
