    Reviews are still currently suspended and there’s been no changes since you last asked. Support Group is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise so it just continues. 
    Best thing to do is try to focus on something else and face the questions if you need to in the future. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You didn’t speak to DWP, you spoke to someone from a call centre. There’s no sign of the reviews starting back this year so it’s unlikely that you will be reviewed anytime soon.

    Mandatory Reconsideration. It’s when you ask them to look at the decision again.
