As soon as you get the decision in writing you need to get back to them and ask for an MR (mandatory reconsideration), another DWP DM will then look at the claim, you should look at where you didnt score points but think you should have, if this fails to change the decision then you will have to appeal, that can take some time and you should perhaps start now looking round for advice and help with that.
Has your ESA reduced by £150 a week or month?
If at any point in all this you need further help just come back and ask.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
