Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
I am afraid there is nothing to do about this, the Tribunal has made a new Decision on your claim, if they believed you should have scored the extra two points for Daily Living then they could have made an award on that basis, as they did not the DWP are not obliged to make their original offer again.
You can pursue the Decision to a higher court, but this is not a quick process and you cannot appeal further because the Decision is wrong but only on the basis that an Error or Law was made in the making of the Decision.
If your conditions have deteriorated since the original Decision and you have medical evidence to support this them you can ask for your claim to be reassessed, but you need to be aware that this would a full review of your claim, new PIP2 and almost certainly a face to face assessment.
