MM Mandatory reconsiderstion SUCCESS

Hi everyone.
I just wanted to give everyone a bit of good news and also some advice.
I was selected to be reviewed under the MM ruling but was told I wasn't successful.
Long story short because I don't have anyone to prompt me, no family or professional help they said I didn't qualify. My point was that I don't leave my house unless it's completely necessary because of the debilitating effects of mental health issues and being around people and engaging socially. But because no one helps me when I actually do go out I was told it doesn't count. So I asked for a mandatory reconsideration with no hope really of being successful.
That was about 3 weeks ago. Anyway, yesterday 15 Sept 25 I had a lovely lady ring me at 12 noon to say she was doing the reconsiderstion and she'd ring me when she'd done it probably in a few days…
To my surprise and great joy she rang me back within the hour telling me she'd reversed the decision and I would now be moving to higher daily living amount and be backdated to start of claim. I'm to receive over 9k on Friday!!!
To say this is life changing is an understatement since I live in my own house that's falling down around my ears. I just wanted to let people know don't listen to people who say it's not worth asking for a reconsideration. Mine took ONE HOUR LITERALLY.
I wish you all the best of luck in receiving what you deserve and are entitled to.
