We think so, yes. Whilst most decisions are changed at appeal, if you can get the decision changed at the mandatory reconsideration stage, you get more money, faster. And you will be under the extra stress for less time. Research shows that using Advicenow’s mandatory reconsideration tools more than doubles your chances of getting the decision changed at this stage.
Use our free WCA mandatory reconsideration tool to increase your chances of winning at the first stage. Don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t work, you will have the option to appeal after then.
We also have free tool to help with PIP mandatory reconsiderations and DLA mandatory reconsiderations.
