Glad that you have an award that you can live with.
Should you change your mind, you do have a month from the date of your decision letter to challenge it via a MR.
Take a little bit of time and think about it, you should not accept an award less than you deserve.

Initially I was also awarded standard both components for five years. I appealed and at Tribunal was awarded enhanced both components with no end date. Appealing is stressful but of course I am pleased that I appealed! 65% of appeals succeed.0 -
@twang5 No one could have been more stressed than me, I ended up calling an ambulance I was so ill after I received my assessor's report and the decision that followed. But just a few weeks later I got my fight back. However you must do what is right for you provided you are sure you won't regret it later on.0

I am aware that my PIP award is not lifetime as such. I have said that it has no end date which is what DWP have put on their decision letter in accordance with the Tribunal's decision. I am also aware that in practice no-end-date awards are reviewed after nine years. Also, in practice, although DWP could re-assess me after nine years, they could not change the Tribunal's decision to award me PIP indefinitely - without another Tribunal overruling this.0
