Tier2 Extension Refusal

Can someone kindly advise me on my query

My tier2 extension application has been refused due to my salary which my employer missed to review.

I'm making a new application with new COS and appropriate salary. My current leave expired on 6th of sep 2014 and my refusal letter dated 9th of sep. I'm also due to apply my ILR next Dec. I have to make my new application before 4th of Oct and my concern is if my new COS get delayed then I have no options left.
if your sponsor doesn't have an allocation of unrestricted CoSs available they have to apply for an increase in their allocation but the process usually only takes a few days. Once they have the allocation the CoS can be assigned immediately (it takes about 20 minutes). If after they applied online there is a delay in receiving the allocation ask your sponsor to call the employer helpline 0300 123 4699.

can I make an appeal now and withdraw my appeal as soon as I get my new COS to submit my new application? Would this effect my continuous stay for ILR next year?
this is a possible route and has the added advantage that you are allowed to work while the appeal is pending but you only have a limited time to submit the appeal. ILR is not affected by overstaying up to 28 days.

Your advise is much appreciated

Thanks in advance
Simon
