If you still think your Benefit assessment is wrong, ask us to look at our decision again.  You must ask us to do this within a month of the date on the decision letter.  We will send you a full explanation for our decision as soon as possible.

If you are still unhappy you have the right to make a formal appeal against our decision to an independent tribunal.  You must write, within a month of us confirming our decision, to
