- the arguments in our mandatory reconsideration tools and templates to help you draft an appeal submission; and
- the arguments in our template appeal submissions to help you draft a mandatory reconsideration request.
Note: our appeal submission templates are correct on the date they were last reviewed, so please check them carefully and update as necessary before using them. The legislation relevant to your appeal is the legislation in force on the date of the decision you are appealing against. You can look up the legislation online and see the changes to it over time at legislation.gov.uk.
