When my funding was cut at reassessment, I was devastated. But I knew the decision wasn't right, so I requested a review. I reached out to a disability advocacy service, and they helped me write a clear statement about why the decision was wrong and what evidence supported my case. Within weeks, the decision was overturned and my funding was restored. Don't be afraid to speak up — you have the right to ask for a review, and advocacy services are there to help.
