PIP mandatory recommendation

Hi All
14 months after filling out PIP application, my son finally had his assessment at home. The assessor was dreadful ( another story). Requested her report the day after she left. Anyway received report and DWP decision letter, later dated 6/5/15. I phoned on 18/5 requesting a mandatory reconsideration for him, told the person on phone that I would be following this up with a letter and a detailed account of points we wanted reconsidered.
Posted the letter, will recieve it today, sent it recorded.
Anyway, my son has received latter today, saying they have reconsidered his award and it's unchanged. They say the next step is to appeal.
Are they able to do this if they know extra info is being sent? Is it worth phoning them on Monday and asking them to look at it again with further evidence? Or should I apply to appeal straight away?
They used the assessors report and our initial application again. As we applied so long ago, my sons health has deteriorated significantly since then. We did tell her this on day of assessment.
Thank you in advance
