    Best of luck for the New Year.

    From experience appealing the decision is really an uphill battle because your fighting a computer's decision and not a person. So trying to get your point across is so painful!! Publicjobs have an answer for everything and a backup answer for everything else you say!

    But hey everything is worth a try!:)

    Can you not at least find out where you went wrong before appealing or at least helping you if you were to re apply later (if possible)?
