    Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) is your next step. You should put this in writing stating where and why you think you should scored those points. 

    Timescales for a decision is up to 12 weeks. The most likely outcome will be the decision doesn’t change. You can then proceed to Tribunal but the waiting time for this could be several months, potentially longer.

    I hear you @Hamilton255. It can be draining  :( As Poppy indicated though, unfortunately, the diagnosis in itself does not award/not award you the benefit. You need to focus on how the diagnosis impacts the descriptors (and you can do this through the impact on your day-to-day life). Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything else to support you with this  :)
