You need to put a message on your journal and tell them that your daughter is now claiming high rate care DLA. The higher disabled child element will be paid from the assessment period in which the changes took place. It may take a few weeks for a decision to be made.

You should receive what is owed to you. You must remember that all changes need to be reported.
