You’ve been made an “offer”. This ends your appeal and if you’re happy with that then fair enough, provided you were made aware you could refuse and go to tribunal. However, most offers fall short of what you’d have likely got at tribunal. Decent article on this at https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/02/dwp-accused-of-offering-disabled-people-take-it-or-leave-it-benefits?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other. The most common problem with offers is that they make 3 to 5 year offers in cases where people have lifelong untreatable or degenerative conditions and a tribunal may well have awarded an ongoing or 10 year award.
What DWP don’t tell you is that you can accept the offer; get the money in payment and then put in a further appeal against just the length of the award alone. Doesn’t even require a further mandatory reconsideration.
