RE: Jurisdiction & powers of appeal tribunals

The Commissioners said that a deterioration would not constitute grounds for a supersession reducing the award. However, if information is received that suggests that the claimants condition has improved, or the original award was wrong, the Secretary of State (or Tribunal) can initiate a supersession (or revision) on his own initiative. So awards can still go down as well as up.
