Hi Geraldine and welcomeIf you are unhappy with an award you can ask for a mandatory reconsiderationFirst have a look at the descriptors and criteria for an award to see if you can justify a higher award.Nobody on a forum can tell you whether you do or should meet the criteria, but be aware that you can lose your award. How many points were you awarded ?0
