Put a change of circumstance form in for my dla it has come back with same award lower rate mobility and middle rate care thinking of appealing the award for care it says one thing on day time care and one thing on night time care day time risk of fits due to epilepsy risk of dangerous activities and behaviour but at night says not a risk of fits and dangerous activities care needs are same day and night

    I can certainly see your point and why you want to appeal - it is so hard to get these days isn't it? I Wonder if it would be worth seeing someone at CAB incase they can help you?

    Hi Trayce
    I do think this is tactics, if they do this to people it will put them off trying again..I know some people are scared of them cutting what they already get, I would appeal..then at least this makes them think disabled people are no pushovers...

    Good luck with it all xx
    Love
