You have to reapply and hope that they agree and don't drop you down or take it off you altogether, sorry for such a negative response but that has been the experience of many people receiving dla on here. I am in the process or renewing as its actually my time to renew and my needs have changed but I am bracing myself for an unwelcome decision and find myself hoping for low rate care which I get at the moment although I need some mobility

I was awarded the lower Mobility rate, I then was Diagnosed with FM, I notified them of this diagnose and the change of my circumstances, and I lost the award completely. MADNESS !!!!!!
