How to appeal length only of award

Daughter (age 25) awarded PIP Enhanced after appearling MR but before it went to tribunal.
etter arrived today and award for Nov 19 to Feb 22. It says they have changed original decision and appeal will not continue. Then letter says you can appeal and I have 1 month to do so and I must send a copy of this letter with it. So do I simply say appealing duration and do I give reasons for duration only or re submit all previous evidence to show how's she's been impacted since age 18 (now 25)? Sorry for all questions .

Good luck. Procedures may have changed since covid but just thought you may find my experience helpful in some way. Xx
They will absolutely look at the rest of it unless you include the caselaw, guidance and specify an end date. Indeed their submissions actually wrongly warn claimants that even though they want to appeal only the award length DWP can look at everything.
Put simply you will need this decision.
You will also need this guidance.
Review date - the award letter does not set a reveiw date. The award is for 29/11/19 to 06/022. It says "if the award of PIP has an end date, you will be sent a letter around 14 weeks before award ends. This letter will explain how to claim again if you want to". Why is there no review date as it comes under longer term award as it's for over 2 years if I'm reading the disability rights guidance correctly or is this just something DWP do before writing to advise award ending?
I don't think I'm going to appeal as while we had a good couple of days after my daughter had the letter as it boosted her feeling that she wasn't "mad" the weekend has been difficult. Anxiety is high last few days and I don't want to add to it by asking for her input into an appeal. I know the information I provided for appeal was sufficient for the award to be made but while the person who rang said my letter setting out life living with my daughter and OCD was powerful another decision maker might not be so moved by it. I will be wiser in helping her claim again in 12 months as I doubt she's going to suddenly improve especially with the ongoing Covid restrictions and we are in local lockdown here so can only meet with people we live with indoors so she can't restart her counselling.
Thank you for all your help.
