Failed MR

I'm sorry but I can't offer an opinion but one thing you might consider is how well you think you documented your problems in the first place. If you think you could have done better then a new claim may be something to think about. The downside will be of course that you will not receive any back pay for the period covered by the original claim.

There are two issues that you will need to overcome;

First, if you go to work four days a week then you are going to struggle to show that you are affected on the majority of days.

Secondly, you will need to argue that the journey to work is to a familiar destination and you do not do any other journeys without the support of someone else. As I assume, there is no cognitive or sensory impairment, you will need to show that you suffer Overwhelming Psychological Distress when asked to follow a route to an unfamiliar destination and this OPD prevents you from following the route.

It is likely that if you did suffer OPD that you would not be safe to drive, so you will need to be aware of this and cover it in your arguments, so the route would have to be one that you walked.

This is activity is about navigation, not the OPD, so this must be the focus of your description of your problems.

There is variation across the country but you are probably looking at 52 weeks.
