The length of the award is part of the Decision so can be challenged.
However, we have not seen huge success with claimants challenging the award length and certainly not at the MR stage, you can go on to appeal but with hearings taking 9-12 months to be heard you will be reassessed before a hearing is convened.
Are your conditions likely to change over the next year, for the better or the worse? If they are then the award may not be wrong.
