    Hi,
    The majority of MR decisions remain the same but we do have some members that have has the decision change at this stage. If it doesn't change then you can request the Tribunal. Waiting times for MR decisions is between 2-12 weeks.

    Hello @flutts35 thanks for reaching out here on the community. I'm really sorry to hear your application wasn't as successful as you were hoping this time.

    It can be disheartening, but it's good to know you've taken steps to challenge the decision by opening a Mandatory Reconsideration. If you've like an overview of the process, and details on any steps you can take if you need to appeal further, Turn2Us have information here.

    If you feel we can help any further, or if any other questions come up, please do ask and we'll support you as best we can :)
