    You will need to request the MR first because without that you can't appeal to the Tribunal.

    You have 13 months in which to challenge the decision. As you're outside the 1 month timeframe you'll need to give a reason why you didn't request it within the first month.

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

    They will look at the whole award again and not just part of it. The most likely outcome of the MR anyway will be the decision is likely to remain the same.

    More chance at Tribunal stage providing you either appear in person or have a telephone/video hearing.

    Please do be aware that they will only take into consideration how your conditions affected you at the time the original assessment took place. Any worsening of condition since then will not be considered.

    If you report changes to your health condition you will be sent another form to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence. Another assessment is most likely because most have them.

    Once a decision is made your award could either stay the same, be decreased, increased or stopped completely.

    I can't tell you what do as you're the only person that can decide that.
