This is the problem with requesting the assessment report, it causes even more anxiety. 

You can certainly ring to ask for a decision maker to ring you. Or you can ask if you can give some extra information and could they add that to the computer. 

Before making a decision they are supposed to look at everything you sent as well as the assessment report. Whilst they mostly go with the report, it has been known for them to go against it.

Hi @dee1810 I'm sorry that you've had this experience. 

I can only imagine how overwhelming this must feel. I hope that poppy123456's comment has helped you to understand what your options are right now. 

Though MR success rates aren't the highest, there's still benefit to submitting one if you're unhappy with your level of award after receiving the decision letter.

If you do end up submitting an MR, many people find it more effective to find ways to strengthen their evidence, rather than address inaccuracies in the assessor's report, if that makes sense. 

I don’t think I can cope with this

Would you mind explaining a little more about what you mean by this? What does not feeling as though you're able to cope with this mean to you?
