Failed the test (!) got 9 points and told to seek JSA.
1. I plan to ask for reconsideration by letter, is there any merit in doing this? If so, it would seem best to wait till I see what the HCP wrote in the report. or not?
whats the difference in asking for a reconsideration and going straight to appeal, apart from the latter paying some interim money?
2. is an apeal a leagal process as in a law court? I ask as I have seen stuff re judges being involved.
3. Re awarding points per descriptors- would the section apply on its own in the first instance, which gives LWC for problems with eating swallowing food and drink and chewing food? (16 points) OR does this section only apply After being given 16 in the first test?
I was given 9 for being unable to go to familiar places unaccompanied by someone- but then tell me to find a job, ergo I will need someone to take me to work lol, its madness!
Crucial to my claim is the social phobia- they completely ignored the descriptor relating to this despite psych evidence , but of course they couldnt possible let me have another 6 points, now, could they?:(
