    In case someone has this scare in future - It really was nothing to be worried about. I explained my child's needs in detail and she agreed that he should be on higher rate and implemented that for me. So it was a successful phone call and I didn't have to do a change of circumstances.

    I have today received a letter from dla saying they are reviewing my son's award. It runs till he's 12 and I've still got 3 years left. Why would they be reviewing it? 

    It seems like it's mandatory so does anyone know what they will be talking about? I don't feel comfortable going through it over the phone because I don't express myself well verbally and I don't remember what I put on the form 5 years ago. 


    Something for the future.
    Type it up on a computer so you can keep the details 👍
    You can always attach a sheet to the back of the forms with these details on, just remembering to put details on the sheet.

    Glad you got a stress free outcome
