Pip award length was created by aliali

Hi how do I appeal award length, I received my pip enhanced rates which is good as I have an unchanging disabling condition, but they shrank my award time by 2 years. My first award was for life on DLA, then it moved to pip and I was given 6 years now my latest review I have been granted 5 years. It has been nearly a month since my award. Is there a way to contest award length ? I am not sure I will be able to cope going through this again in 4 years essentially. I really want a ten year award as others with my condition have been granted. Do I have to go to a tribunal or is there a way to challenge this as it is still just within 1 month of the date of the award Thanks

Hi aliali

You can put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration, but you need to make it very clear that you are satisfied with every other aspect of the award, other than the length. Be aware that there is a risk that they may review your entire award.

Award lengths have been shortened across the board, and they are issuing far fewer ten-year awards than they were before. Very few people are successful in increasing the award length, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Emphasise the fact that your condition is unchanging.
