solly1902

I applied for lwc im struggling this year with my health i had to cut down on my work aswell. Im only working 14 hrs a week. I cant walk more than 50 metres due to herniated disc. I sent dwp my mri scan report gp report and a neurosurgeon consultant report and today ive been told im fit for work. What do I do now? Ive asked for a MR but im worried that'll be overlooked

Hi @solly1902, sorry to hear that, it's so disheartening. You're definitely right to have asked for a Mandatory Reconsideration if you're not happy with the result. There's some advice about benefits appeals here in case it's useful to you:

Once the MR is submitted, there's a bit of waiting involved while they look at things again. But hopefully things get better for you.

Did you have any help with writing your MR at all? Sometimes it can be useful to chat to a benefits adviser to make the most of it, but don't worry if you didn't have time to do that.

I just used a template and used that on my journal and ill definitely speak to someone that deals with this. Thank you for your help
