That's what I found odd Gordon. I said I was going to put in a MR and she said You don't have to you can just put in a request to go in the support group. I asked what she meant and she said just put it in writing asking to be placed in support group and if they don't then go for a MR. I have done a SAR request in the past. If I don't get a written statement of reasons I will put in another SAR 
I think I will put straight in for MR as soon as I have seen the report.

Just so you are aware, A SAR can only retrieve documents and information that is already available, the Decision Makers Statement of Reasons is not produced when an award is made, so I would not expect it to have any more chance of success than a direct request for one.
The issue with a SoR is that the DM is not required to produce one if they have a reasonable belief that the information has already been supplied to the claimant, albeit in another form.
