    I know it’s so bad how they can say your not suffering over a phone call, she said I’m ok n didn’t sound out ov breathe over the phone because I’m on medication I’m stable oh really don’t think any ov them have suffered with mental health clearly it’s so frustrating so because she said I’m fine over an hour phone call that’s it ,think I’m going to ring the doctor in the morning just don’t no wot to say to her x. 
    So are you not doing a m r …I definitely would  x

    Hi @jules10 and @natasha1776
    I’ve  also got mental health problems and applied mainly on that basis. Got rejected in 2019 (0 points on all), I didn’t even bother doing an MR at that time. Applied again in June 2020, had my telephone assessment, again 0 points! Submitted an MR early April, and I’ve been told that they’ve awarded me ‘something’. They’ll let me know tomorrow what exactly they’ve awarded me but just wanted to tell you that dont lose hope. I know how it feels, I myself gave up last time and almost gave up this time. These people don’t know what we go through, you really have to persist and spell it out for them! Best of luck to you both :)
