    Hi @pillar48, sorry to hear you didn't get the award you wanted, it's unfortunately often the case with MRs.

    The tribunal process is fairly simple and we have information about it here for you to read and also on the DWP site, which has links for how to appeal.  I recommend attending the tribunal in person if at all possible.  But please don't worry, they're very different to assessments!

    I'm sorry your MR didn't go as you'd hoped, but as you know the success rate with these is very low. However, when appealing a PIP decision, the success rate is currently 68%, so far more encouraging. Most tribunals are still by phone/video call, so long as you don't just go for a paper based tribunal as the success rate of these is only a few percent.
    You can start an appeal online: https://www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/submit-appeal   choosing to do so 'in person' then say you'd like a tribunal by phone/video call.
