Hi @charl1980 - you could accept the award offered, & get some monies into payment, then appeal without having to go through another Mandatory Reconsideration.

As you have worked out, sometimes the DWP make an offer as it's possible you may get a higher award, or a longer one (they don't always mention the length of award, so, depending on your circumstances, always worth keeping in mind) if you proceed to a Tribunal.

Would I be awarded the lower rate mobility at appeal do u think at tribunal or is it common to get nothing even though they made a offer at that olease

With a Tribunal it's like a fresh start, but a Tribunal will give you notice if they are thinking of lowering any award, then you would decide not to proceed. The Tribunal will also consider that the DWP made you an offer beforehand.

This is my first award I'm desperately scared to go to tribunal in case I get nothing but surely they would give me standard mobility at least if was offered at offer stage? X

At the moment you have no award in place. As has been advised, you can accept the offer from DWP but your appeal would then lapse. You then wait until the award is in payment and then you can request another Tribunal but your timescale would start from the beginning again.

Only you can decide what you want to do.
