Hi hope u can help. I have gone to appeal with my pip cos awarded nil points from enhanced. Dwp phoned me to offer me stardard 11points for 2 years. I don't no weather to accept. If it was for 4 or 5 years I would accept cos it's the anxiety of the reviews I can't stand. I think I can obtain 12 points at appeal but can't decide what to do. Thanks.

Only you can decide what to do, you have three basic options;

1. Reject the offer and carry on to appeal.

2. Accept the offer and allow the appeal to lapse (cancel).

3. Accept the offer and then request a new appeal, this will put you at the back of the queue again but you would receive the increased award while you wait. Do not mention this to the DWP if you are considering this option as they will not formalise the offer if you indicate that you intend to continue with the appeal.

Thank gordon welfare rights told me it was illegal to say that they will only offer me 11 points if I withdraw my appeal. But what I think I will do is accept their offer then put in a mandatory reconsideration then start again with an appeal. Is this what u meant. That way I have standard in payment n may get enhanced with appeal. Thanks

I did, I did not realise you were looking for a reply.

If the DWP offer you an award that is more advantageous than your existing award then your appeal automatically lapses so it is not a case of you having to withdraw your appeal. If you say that you are appealing for a higher award than that offered then the DWP will wait to see what the panel decide. I'm not sure I understand the point that your Welfare Rights person is trying to make.

Thank you I just want to make double sure I will still be able to appeal after accepting their offer of std as I Washington enhanced before I was given no award. They are now offering me 11 points. So just to be sure I accept standard then put in Mr then if necessary appeal again new from begining. Will they accept this will I be able to do
This . I will remember not to tell them I intend to appeal against new award. I have got this right thanks. By the way I also have a new pip claim in which they are still looking at thanks it's so confusing
