    Hi and welcome 

    All the info in mr is looked at by another decision maker who then either agrees or disagrees with original decision 

    The wording they use does reflect what was said in report of they agreed with the report . Which in your case they have done

    What you have to do now is get ready to appeal, you have 1 month to put in an appeal, if possible I would suggest contacting welfare rights to see if they can help.

    got an email back off the senior caseworker for my mp  explained about the amout of tribunal i have been to as she replied can i send  over the paperwork, so that I can speak to the mp about the possibility of writing to a Minister about your case. she was shocked that they keep sending me even though my specialisted have said that Autism is covered by the eqality act and a life long condition she also said that the government is asking a few mps to have a look into the assessments and awards and would i be able to tell my side about what i have been through over the years with dwp she mentioned something about white papers and green papers just a waiting game now

    after sending in my letter that the mp wrote as support a week ago i got a call saying they need to talk to me about my pip appeal i missed the call. So i rang them back and he said he doesn't have much information other than its a lapsed appeal and im scheduled a call back between 10-12 and looks like they will be making you an offer. if they offer care and no mobility which i have been told im entitled to can i say no i think im entitled to both or i will still go to the tribunal or is it their offer or no offer?

    You can reject anything proposed in which case the appeal continues. In most cases it makes more sense to accept the proposed revised award which gets you something in payment, the existing appeal then lapses but you can then go through a new appeal process for the new award to challenge bits you are not happy with.
