    Hi @solly1902, sorry to hear that, it's so disheartening. You're definitely right to have asked for a Mandatory Reconsideration if you're not happy with the result. There's some advice about benefits appeals here in case it's useful to you:

    Once the MR is submitted, there's a bit of waiting involved while they look at things again. But hopefully things get better for you.

    Did you have any help with writing your MR at all? Sometimes it can be useful to chat to a benefits adviser to make the most of it, but don't worry if you didn't have time to do that.
