What benefit is the Mandatory Reconsideration for?

You have 13 months to ask for an MR.

After a month you have to give a reason as to why you are asking "late".

I'm not sure whether having a Fit Note would be a valid reason.

NO I WAS GIVEN A MONTH

A month is the standard time frame.

You actually have an additional 12 months after that, but you will need to give a reason why you are requesting the MR "late".
