Thank you for your replies, I'll get onto that tomorrow. A thought came to me that I should just write in to them (with a photocopy of the page I missed entering the info on) with the information I should have included. If I'm not asking them to reassess my case but just giving them information that I missed out, then would they really be able to do anything but double check I'm on the right rate?

How would I go about getting a caseworker? Should I have one already? It's all very new to me still.

Thanks Adam, that's interesting to know. I think the supersession way to go is probably the best. When I was filling out my form, I left something out because I thought it had stopped happening - it's happened a couple of times since I submitted my form and in hindsight I probably should have added it. Therefore I probably had the right decision for what I wrote on the claim form - there's not much point in appealing it. How could I go about submitting this additional information, is there a specific way to do it, or should I just write to them? Thanks again

Maybe I'm just being a bit too cynical. My husband is on jobseekers after being made redundant (twice in 3 months, there's no work where we live) and he was told he'd switch to a different type of jobseekers allowance after 6 months and that he had to reapply. He reapplied and they decided to cut his allowance in half. We're having to move house to another area because of it (we can't afford to wait for a job to become available around here). I do feel as if you get played with sometimes.

Thanks Rae. I'd be worried that they'd reassess me and tell me that I'm not entitled to anything at all. I've been awarded the benefits for 'an indefinite period' so I'm happy with that. Is there any chance I'd lose the lot if they get the hump by me appealing? I know nothing about the DWP but have read quite a lot of horror stories on forums today whilst looking for advice.

Hi everyone This is my first post so I hope I've put it in the right place. A year ago I was awarded DLA - high rate of mobility and middle for care. During the last 12 months my condition has worsened - yet I've just had my 12 month review and have ended up with high rate of mobility and low rate for care. I don't know whether I should appeal against the low rate of care or not, especially considering my health is worse than ever. Unfortunately the decision means that although I'd be entitled to a motability car, I now can't go down that route as I'd already be down £30 per week and would leave myself too tight financially to lose the mobility component as that's what would pay for the car. Without a car I'm stuck indoors. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm new to all this sort of stuff as I've worked since leaving school 25 years ago.
