Which "new amounts" are you talking about? If it's the annual benefits increase then this won't happen until April 2023.

Hi @davejcollinsli1. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you at the moment?

Thanks for already finding the courage to reach out to us. I appreciate the courage it can take to reach out, especially when you are new and finding things difficult. 

Unfortunately, this is not an area of my expertise. However, if you already receive the attendance allowance, I guess the only way to know is to contact them. 

Hopefully, a more experienced member of our community will be able to respond to you soon if there's anything I am missing.

In the meantime, I mainly just wanted to greet you to welcome you and let you know that I hear it is a difficult time for you at the moment.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you. We are all here for you and listening to you.

Take care for now and we will look forward to, hopefully, hearing from you again soon

Did you mean the annual increase? I know it can all be quite confusing.
