Appeal after Mandatory reconsideration rejected

Scotboy wrote: So after a 15 minute assessment where I was told every answer I gave by the assessor 'I don't want to know that now, we'll discuss later'..then told the assessment was finished without nay discussion, and a mandatory reconsideration ( a sprawling 15 page letter I sent) which was acknowledged by text at 1pm 22 Sept and rejected by letter dated 23rd Sept, I'm now appealing. Would it be ok to give my mandatory reconsideration letter a new heading and only slightly reword as the basis of additional pages for the Appeal form submission? thanks
