Hold out for best offer

In accepting offers do not just think the first offer is the best offer consider the regulations that might be overlooked such as

DISP App 3.9.2
In assessing redress, the firm should consider whether there are any other further losses that
flow from its breach or failing that were reasonably foreseeable as a consequence of the
firm's breach or failing, for example, where the payment protection contract's cost or rejected claims
contributed to affordability issues for the associated loan or credit which led to arrears charges,
default interest, penal interest rates or other penalties levied by the lender.

If you can hold out for a good offer rather than simply taking the first offer you could possibly claim back more than Banks want you to claim.

Best of luck as everyone may as well aim to maximize what they should be entitled
