Hi @Bradshaw welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear this, this must be very frustrating for you. Have a look at how to appeal which also includes everything you need to know about making a mandatory reconsideration. Hope this helps.
Please keep us updated and let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with!Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -

Hi
Are you on about Industrial Injuries?
If so there will be a prescribed percentage for white finger, as set by DWP.
As you have been assessed at 5%, no benefit will be paid.
Are you an ex-miner? You should have received an award from a class action, taken several years ago. -
No I was in the construction industry
