You contact the DWP and ask for a review form which you will need to complete.

 

Yes, there is risk. With any review you take the risk of your award being lowered or losing it completely.

 

For middle rate care you need to prove you need frequent help during the day OR repeated or prolonged help at night. Or that you have continual supervision needs day OR night.

 

For high rate care the above needs to be day AND night.

 

Frequent help means needing help from another person (even if you don't get it) at multiple occasions during the day. It doesn't matter how long you need help for, or how many tasks during each occasion, but that there are frequent separate occasions during the day that you need help. 5-10 separate occasions at least.

 

Be sure you meet the entitlement criteria before you risk a review.
