Should I accept first offer

Options
I recently received a letter informing me that I had been successful in reclaiming PPI on a NatWest loan. My question is- should one always accept the first offer received?

    You won’t get another offer, it’s your premiums plus interest. What more do you think you’ll get?
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    It isnt a haggling competition.  The redress calculation is defined by the regulator.

    My answer is  that a full refund is a full refund. 
     So,  while the Bank does indeed make an "offer", it's not an invitation for you to hold out for more.  You'll only ever receive a full refund of all the premiums paid plus 8% simple interest, no more and no less...
