I thought so, & queried it with DWP. They said the same as you, that I could lose the award at the tribunal.
If the tribunal did decide to reduce my DL enhanced award back to standard, the tribunal would let me know wouldn’t they so I could pull out? The DWP didn’t mention this until I did 😒
I’m not sure if I’ll go for it, I’ll have a good think. But I’m awaiting my letter. So nervous was I over the call, expecting them to ask me questions (they didn’t ask me any) that I could barely speak. I never expected anyone to call me. Although it didn’t stop me from clutching my phone wherever I went in the home 🤭
I suppose if they turned me down, I’d still have the enhanced DL. Plus I’m asking for a longer award, the tribunal gave me one last time. But bad DWP had only given me 3 😒months. I ended up with 3 years.
