    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! :)

    Welcome to the community @Bradshaw
    Can you explain a little more? What did you put a claim in for?

    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.
