Hi everyone, I am seeking advice on an appeal for the AFCS claim. I recently received a final award Level 10 for my mental health disorders which doesn't reflect my conditions after years (7+) of enormous sufferings, therapy treatments, disability, and functional limitation. Treatment is ongoing without any benefit, but I believe any treatment will be life-long ongoing if the sufferings continues forever. Can I directly apply for an Appeal for Tribunal Hearing, or do I have to first seek Application for Reconsideration (AFR) to their (Vet UK) final award? If possible, I want to avoid AFR as it might take another 12 months of delay in any decision making, before another 12-14 months for an appeal to reach tribunal court.
I seek your advice.
