    ];
    $validation = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
    if (empty($validation))
    {
        $result['error'] = "Enter the code that was sent to you by mail.";
        return response()->json($result, 422);
    }
    $user = User::where('unique_id', $request->uniqueId)->first();
    if ($user->unique_id === $request->uniqueId)
    {
        $result['success'] = 'Access to your personal account successfully restored. Please change your password.';
        return response()->json($result, 200);
    }
    else
    {
        $result['success'] = false;
        return response()->json($result, 422);
    }
}

I think it's because $user is returning null .

so do this

if (!is_null($user) && $user->unique_id === $request->uniqueId)
