The decision to refuse your application does attract the right of appeal and the correct course of action, should you wish to exercise this right, should be to formally lodge an appeal. The appeal documents would have been included in the paperwork which was returned to you, following the processing of your application. These papers explain the process of lodging an appeal. You may visit this link for more information on how to submit an appeal - http://www.justice.gov.uk/tribunals/...asylum/appeals

If you do not wish to exercise your appeal rights, you are, of course, free to reapply for an entry clearance at any stage. Whilst we cannot guarantee that any application would be successful, we can confirm that it would be treated on its individual merits. We would strongly recommend that, if you choose to reapply, that you address the concerns raised within the refusal notice and any additional evidence/explanations can be provided with the fresh application.

But that would mean spending more right? We are not submitting more info we are asking for a reconsideration of existing evidence!
Advise Please!!!

have you sent a letter of reconsideration to the ECO manager ? from the title of your post it looks like you have, if so looks like they stand by the refusal and you'll have to reapply or go to appeal.

I have contacted the appeals team in Leicester today, just to find out if there is any news about the appeal? Ive now been told that the paperwork is being sent back to Manila with the request they reconsider..... Now we have asked the team in Manila to do this and they said they could not do this! It has to go to appeal.... So it strikes me odd they have been asked to do what they have told me they can't Now we've paid for the appeal already... When this come back do we need to pay again? The people in Leicester has told the English Law's apply to the people in the Phillipines ? As sponsor I'm disabled and exempt from fee's but this appeal is about my wife who is not exempt. I'm now confused because I'm being told as just a sponsor I have no rights? So its been suggested she right a letter to her non legal representative? I could then request expert legal help under legal aid.... Does this make sense to any of you? I feel its just delay delay delay all the time!!!

Stu!
