    Hello there @bruno05 and welcome, thanks for reaching out, you're not alone in feeling dissatisfied, and I'm sorry this is the outcome of your reconsideration. 

    Just so that I understand fully, was this for a PIP application, or something else?

    It's not unusual for the MR decision not to change. You don't mention which benefit this is for, is it PIP or DLA. Either way, you can now request the Tribunal. https://www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/submit-appeal

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @bruno05. Thanks for reaching out to us. I appreciate how much courage it can take to reach out, especially when you are fairly new and finding things tough.

    I can hear how you are dissatisfied. Is there anything, in particular, that might help this to feel more manageable for you at the moment?

    Can we ask how you found applying for DLA for your son? We are here for you and listening to you if you would like to share more with us

    Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support you. You don't have to face this, or anything else, alone if you don't want to  :)
