Hi,Only 18% of MR decisions change, so most people have to take it to Tribunal. Appearing in person will give you the best chance of a decision going in your favour.You now have 28 days to request the Tribunal by filling out the SSCS1 form. Waiting times for hearings in a lot of areas are huge and some are waiting a year so don't expect it to be a quick process.I'd advise getting help from either welfare rights or a law centre. Good luck.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

As part of your evidence include your latest spirometry report - this should show your level of breathlessness and again should be available from your GP. It then becomes medical evidence and not anecdotal though your breathlessness is the same.
