The length of the award does form part of the Decision and is therefore subject to appeal, however, I am not aware of anyone on B&W or any of the other forums I view who has gone through this process.

The length of the award is primarily decided by the assessor, based on your conditions and the likelihood for change, you will need to show that their recommendation is unreasonable.

If you want to pursue the matter then have a look at the PIP Appeal guide in regard to requesting a Mandatory Reconsideration.

Hi Lb,

I can't say for sure but would expect the decision maker to ask about your conditions and why you believe the award length is wrong.

After reading some of the forum conversations on here I think it's best I send it in writing ? I am happy with the award it's the lenghth my conditions are life long and nothing is going to get better in the next 12 months when it will be time for appeal . I recieved the report and he was fair with scoring but didn't mention my other mentle health issues and put down my amputation as pain as opposed to amputation. I also sent psychiatrist letter and doctor letters confirming conditions and which state my mentle health issues are "severe and enduring " could someone please help me with trying to draft up a letter to the decision maker ? I've read te guidelines and I'm stressed and confused :s
