Have you kept your medical report from your first award for high care and high mobility and the points which were awarded?
You need to ask for a mandatory reconsideration and if the decision is not changed then you go to appeal.
You need to go through the current medical report and see why they have not awarded you the same points.
If you suspect that this is to do with the fact that you are caring for a young baby and they believe that you do not meet the descriptors because of this, then you have to provide evidence of how you do meet the descriptors. This may be because you are not carrying out tasks (so indicated in the descriptors) during the caring of your baby but these are being done by someone else.
It could be that the above are not the reasons why you have lost your award - can't read the medical report from here!!
Take all the paperwork to CAB/a welfare advisor and get some help.0 -

Were you alone with your baby? If so, maybe the physical activities they asked you to do which you said you couldn't didn't make sense for someone looking alone after a baby, ie. you said you could lift your arms, but then surely would need to do so to pick up your baby if they were crying.
All you can do is ask for a reconsideration.0 -
Quick question but does anything on your claim contradict caring for children plus a young baby?0
