Hi, my name is James. Added information at reconsideration, will ADP change their decision?

I submitted an application for ADP due to having a fissured spine and also arthritis spine I also have a benign bone tumour I was awarded standard daily but in my original application I should have noted in all of it plus the mobility part that I was involved in a serious RTC that someone died in I am ashamed of this it causes chaos in my life daily due to PTSD of this… I have now sent my reconsideration and detailed all of this plus proof. Does anyone think this will change ADP original decision or will they take it away from me for not being able to put this in my original application due to embarrassment what it has done to my life.

    Hi @lyleprest, welcome to the community. If you've detailed all this in your re-determination then hopefully they'll be able to understand.

    It's difficult for anyone on the outside to say whether they will change their original decision as that will be up to the decision makers, but I hope that they'll be able to consider how much of an impact this has on you day to day with the new evidence you've sent in.

    If you need extra support, Citizens Advice Scotland or VoiceAbility might be able to help you with your claim if you need to appeal further.

    I hope you get the result you're looking for ☺️

    As Rosie has said, it is hard for anyone to comment. Mandatory Reconsiderations usually stay the same, but you have sent in about your PTSD and extra evidence. Your claim may increase because of the PTSD and extra evidence but it is hard to say for certain.

    If your claim does not increase, I would then leave it as your PTSD and extra evidence was not in your original claim. I would then apply for a Change of Circumstances and add your PTSD and extra evidence to this. This is a new claim though! That is what I would do but as Rosie has stated, get some professional advice first.

    Best of luck!
