Won pip appeal, can I cancel my new claim!

Oih2

Hi, 
I claimed pip in 2019, a tribunal found me not entitled to pip in 01/2020. I requested a set aside and this was granted by the district judge. I had the appeal on 4th/08/2020 and have been awarded pip Enhanced DLA & Enhanced mobility. Tribunal has even gave me a 5 year award. 

However, i put in a new claim in April 2020. However, i wanna know if i can cancel my new claim and get the previous claim reinstated.

Depends on precisely where the second claim is up to.

Oih2

Im being assessed by a HCP next week.

mikehughescq

Then you still have time to withdraw the claim.

Oih2

So if i withdraw from the new 2020 claim,
will it revert back to the 2019 claim?

mikehughescq

Not sure what revert back means in this context. Your appeal award runs from 2019 already. Making a new claim renders the 5 year award meaningless as the award will end the day before your new claim was decided. Get that new claim withdrawn and your 5 year award stands.

Ok, thank you so much, my anxiety has been through the roof!
Ill call them on monday to withdraw the new claim!
