Have you any written conformation yet? or applied for a mandatory reconsideration?

Alice_Holt

First step is to request a mandatory reconsideration (MR) of the DWP decision:
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/disability-living-allowance/dla-appeals/dla-mandatory-reconsideration/
.

I guess you will need to have a conversation with motability about the car.

I'd always advise claimants thinking about notifying a change of circumstances to get accredited advice first, and be sure that a worsening condition should lead to a higher award. 

I'd suggest you contact your local advice charity to see if they can help with your appeal.

This is from the Citizens Advice website:

"The mobility component is based on your child’s ability to walk and how hard they find it to get around places that they don’t know well.

The higher rate is usually given to children with severe physical difficulties, or conditions that mean it’s dangerous for them to get around alone. You’ll get the higher rate of £75.75 if your child is 3 or over and one of the following describes them:

• they can’t walk

• they have severe discomfort when they walk outside, for example they can’t walk to school because it would hurt them too much to walk outside that far

• walking would put them in danger or would mean their health would get worse

• they have no legs or feet

• they’re blind or severely sight impaired 

• they’re both deaf and blind

You’ll also get the higher rate of £75.75 if your child is 3 or over and all the following describe them:

• they have a severe learning disability or other mental impairment that affects their intelligence and how they act with other people

• the impairment results in disruptive and dangerous behaviour, for example someone has to watch over them to stop them hurting themselves or others

• they’re entitled to the highest rate care component

The lower rate is usually given to children who can walk but have difficulty getting around places that they don’t know very well. You’ll get the lower rate of £28.70 if your child is 5 or over and both the following apply:

• they need someone with them to guide or supervise them on unfamiliar routes (for example, getting somewhere they’ve never been before would be an unfamiliar route, but walking to school the same way every day would be a familiar route)

• they need more help getting around than a child of the same age who isn't disabled or doesn’t have a health condition 

If your child is given the middle rate care component because they need supervision to avoid danger, they can also get the lower rate mobility component for the same reason."

Is 2036 as the date your child reaches 18 a typo?
How old is she?
