Prepare the family submission, Page 44 annex, and the arguments assessors use at full DST stage.
Do not buy full appeal preparation first. Start by checking whether there are real grounds to challenge.
Families often worry about uploading medical records. These are the practical safeguards we use before, during, and after review.
