Hello norton and welcome

First you need to get f2f advice from CAB, welfare rights or similar as soon as possible
You might also contact your local MP

When did you receive your MR decision letter ?
Do you have any award for Daily Living ? if so for how long ?

You need to start the appeal process asap
The first thing is to submit an SSCS1 with just basic reasons for your appeal
You will then receive an acceeptance letter from the tribunal
The DWP will then submit their case and you will receive a copy of all the evidence used to make their decision
You should check that any evudence submitted by you is contained in the bundle
You then prepare your own submission using the bundle to reference how you meet the criteria for an award
You do not need further evidence but any relevant new evidence can be added and referenced also
It can help to keep and submit a daily diary of your difficulties

There is plenty of good info on here about the appeals process
also have a look at the B&W self test
