You can challenge that decision by requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration within one month of the date of the decision. 

You should put the request in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. 

The most likely outcome will be the decision doesn’t change. If this happens you can proceed to Tribunal.

Hello @eddykane

I just wanted to welcome you to the community! Hope you are well?

Keeping my fingers crossed the conversation with Citizen's Advice is helpful!
