    A decision can take up to about 12 weeks once the assessment report was returned.

    Hello @warton

    How are you feeling about having to go to mandatory reconsideration?

    I feel like I have a strong case to appeal due to my condition as it is getting progressively worse.

    They will not take into consideration any worsening of condition since the decision was made. You should put your MR request in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points.

    The most likely outcome will be the decision remains the same. If this happens you can proceed to Tribunal. https://www.gov.uk/mandatory-reconsideration

    Did you put the request in writing? If not then i'd advise you to do this stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. Giving a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you.
