Hi, my name is Ayo! I should be getting the severe disability component but this was removed

Advised that I should be getting the severe disability component but this was removed when it was assumed someone was claiming carer’s allowance. A wrong assumption successfully challenged but the SD was not reinstated. What do I do?
