Iam Missing any benfits

Hi, I got my entitlement from the disability and carers service, my mobility rate is higher rate for an indefinite period and my carers rate is the lowest for an indefinite period. My carers was on the higher rate before and i could claim various other benefits, which i now have lost £100.00 a week from it. Is there any other benefits i can claim to bump my money back up?. Iam also claiming income support, child tax credit, child benefit, housing and council tax benefit.

    Has your condition changed?
    If you have a strong case for care, you might want to consider appealin g(if the decision was under a mon th ago).
    This will depend on the strength of your case - in rinciple you put at risk the mobility element too.
