If you have been refused
A refusal is not the end of the claim. Challenging it is a written job.
An award rate for Endometriosis is a decision pattern across a region, not a judgement about you. If the decision on your claim went against you, the next stage is a Mandatory Reconsideration, and it turns on what is written down.
We draft that pack from your own answers. You read and edit every word before anything is sent.
You have one month from the date on your decision letter to ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration.
If a new claim for Endometriosis was refused, the next step is a mandatory reconsideration, and there is a one month deadline.
How a mandatory reconsideration works, and how to get help with one →Free, independent help is available from Citizens Advice and from local welfare rights services. We are an independent service, not the DWP.
