What have been awarded and how long have you had it? I'd merely keep a close track of income in/out and wait to see if anything actually happens. Probably the case that nothing will happen, if something does, it's worth undertaking the background reading and/or initiating actions (Nb. Am taking benefit payments for the only time in my life, have found the DWP incredible to date. But worth keeping careful records of their actions, to ensure action can be taken if errors on their part arise)

hi, thanks for your kind response, I've been on mid rate ESA and DLA for 15 years, the nse and local cmht took the DWP to court after a long case, they worked so hard to get it sorted for me, I know my consultant neurologist will back me up if anything does go wrong but still a worry. I remember everyone ranting about pip replacing DLA but that hasn't happened for me either.
