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.

Can you explain a little more? What did you put a claim in for?

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.
