Can I

Can I was created by lew247
I claimed PIP and was awarded nothing.
I did a mandatory appeal and received nothing
I decided to appeal and I eventually received a phone call offering me 11 piints for daily living and 8 for mobility
I have received the appeal pack and this is confirmed in it

Is it possible for me to still accept what they offered? the 11 points and 8
and then appeal for a higher award afterwards?

If so how do I do it?

I tried searching the forum for answers but there is no search facility, it only searches the website and not the forum

As you can see from the images of the website I saved

Yes, you can accept the offer and then request a new appeal.

Wait until the offer is in payment and then simply lodge a new appeal, it's no different from when you originally requested the appeal.

You said that you had received a phone call from the DWP making the offer, did they not explain how to accept it?

No they didn't because I told them I wanted to reject it and proceed to tribunal
However after reading the pack and reading all the advice I can find here I think it would be in my interest to accept it and if possible them appeal for a higher award
So I've no idea how I could go about accepting it now

It might have helped me answer your question if you had led with this :(

You can try contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim and ask for the DM to contact you again but you may have missed your opportunity to accept the offer.
