You need to wait for the Decision it is possible that the DM will not agree with the recommendation.
If the Decision is no award then you have two options, you can make a new clam immediately or you can challenge the Decision, but have to warn you, if you go down this route then you really need to be prepared to go to appeal.
Let us know when you receive the Decision Letter and we can provide more advice.
