Disablement Benefit

    Hi all, my partner just got his disablement approved today. He can choose either a lump sum or a life pension. The thing is that he wasn’t seen by a social welfare designated doctor before the award was made (I assume this is due to the pandemic).

    His condition is actually worst then we initially thought and there is a strong possibility that he would have to undergo 3 operations. We are thinking of appealing the decision.

    Have we anything to loose by appealing ? Is it possible that the lump sum/ life pension can actually be reduced ?

    I do not understand. Why do you want to appeal- if you have won?

    Because we were expecting a higher amount
