DWP Offer after Mandatory Reconsideration - not happy apparently you can keep the new award and lodge at tribunal via SSCS1

Rightsnet is a really useful source of information in regard to benefit. I

 

Although the theory sounds correct to accept MR offer, so the benefit is paid and to then appeal to Courts Tribunal, i Just wonder whether the Court might just see the acceptance of the MR decision, as a conclusion to the challenge of the original decision. DWP made the offer on MR and it was accepted.

 

The author of the Rightsnet post says that they don't think DWP should be making the offers and that they would probably stop if enough claimants continued to appeal.  Might the reason DWP be making the offers, is to avoid claimants having to wait many months for a Court Tribunal outcome and avoid the Tribunal system being even more clogged up with cases than it is already.

I guess DWP would inform the Tribunal of their offer and  this would be take into account.
