You need at least 8 points for standard award or at least 12 points for Enhanced. You can challenge the decision by first requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR) You should put this in writing (please do not ring them) stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. 

When you filled out the form if you didn't include some real world examples you should do that now. You need to include exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you. Adding detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were. 

Please also note that they won't take into consideration any worsening of decision since the assessment took place. 

Most MR decisions remain the same. If this happens you can proceed to Tribunal, where there's more chance of a decision in your favour.

Ive already rang them , would you write to them as well , if so do you have an address please

You really should put the request in writing! Please also note that because you’ve already requested the MR by phone they do not have to wait for you to send a letter or any additional evidence and a decision can be made at any time.

The address is different for everyone depending on the area you live but it will tell you the address on the decision letter that you received

It might be an idea to call them, tell them you want to do it in writing, get them to send you a text / emailing confirming that they will await you MR in writing. Make sure you get Proof of Postage. Use the correct form below:
