Appeal - DWP phone offers

Im just thinking about the posts on here about the DWP phoning claimants awaiting their tribunal and offering to increase the award to drop the appeal.
Is it because they know they will lose the tribunal hearing or because they know they’ve awarded the claimants incorrectly, or both?
Or has the DWP totally realised this PIP sham doesn’t work?
Just thinking out loud but be good to hear your thoughts on this.

They will have a pretty good guess at what a Tribunal would award so anything less than that that they can get agreed is a bonus point for them.

@Yadnad, maybe the claimant who get a telephone call should then say they want a long award as well as the correct award.
