Hi @Bradshaw welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear this, this must be very frustrating for you. Have a look at how to appeal which also includes everything you need to know about making a mandatory reconsideration. Hope this helps.
Please keep us updated and let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with!

Hi
Are you on about Industrial Injuries?
If so there will be a prescribed percentage for white finger, as set by DWP.
As you have been assessed at 5%, no benefit will be paid.
Are you an ex-miner? You should have received an award from a class action, taken several years ago. -
No I was in the construction industry
