Hi Johan,
Because you have to have been in the UK for 2 of the past 3 years at the date of claim, if you didn't meet this requirement with your existing claim, then I'm afraid you will have to start again when you have been here 2 years.
On a side note, if you are an EEA national who has moved from another EEA state to the UK, this requirement sometimes does not apply, you (or in some cases a family member on whom you are dependent) would need to have a genuine link to the UK social security system - i.e. be working in the UK and evidence for all that. If that seems to apply to you I would recommend trying to find a local specialist to discuss the case face to face for advice on appealing the decision.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Mary
