Hi and welcome
If your BF does not have an award in payment, the first thing to do is submit a new claim if his condition has not improved and he still should qualify for an award.
There is no waiting time to submit a new claim.
As you are in touch with welfare rights they should be able to advise further or CAB.

Thanks, @steve51 - I have moved this post for you, @nicole0295.
This is now in our Ask a Benefits Advisor category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo will be able to advise.

Hi nicole0295,
Keep in touch with your Welfare Rights Officer who is assisting him. The tribunal can make an award as long or as short as they feel it is necessary, but your officer has done the right thing to ask if there has been a mistake in the dates on the decision notice. Good luck!
