new claimant?

My worry about the government wanting to halve what new claimants get for LCWRA is that if this happens and I go to a WCA and get classed as fit for work, but I then do an MR, and then a tribunal and the result gets changed to not being fit for work is that maybe I'll be classed as a new claimant and then be on half the money which I wouldn't be able to survive on.

I'm thinking surely I shouldn't be classed as a new claimant though if they've overturned the result? It's like a continuation of the old claim rather than me making an entirely new one?

What do you guys think?
