lapsing appeals
Just to avoid confusion….
An appeal can only lapse upon revision; not supersession.
But it often doesn’t happen. More than once I have been in the position where the clerk to the Tribunal rings the appellant (to find out why they haven’t turned up) only to discover the appeal has been lapsed in their favour and DWP failed to notify the Tribunal.
They don’t apologise either when you ring them to say “Oy!”
Kevin is, of course, absolutely right, and I do know the difference between revision and supersession. Unfortunately many JC+ decision makers don’t appear to know the difference. The LT203(C) Form which I reproduced DOES say “superseded” rather than revised.

Decision makers not knowing the difference between supersession and revision? I’m shocked :-) .
