    It may change, it may not. Depends on the DWP

    The DWP can award a Lifetime award but its rare, so one or 2 things may happen

    1. they may ask you to be reassessed, but this would be unlikley as they have said reassessments would be less needed for long term conditions
    2. nothing for yourself

    the only way you will know is with time, but the DWP do have the right to reassess you AT ANY POINT unless it's ordered by a court (appeal). So be prepared for anything

    i know it doesn't answer your question but no one will know atm what is going to happen. they've got to work out if these changes are even legal in the first place
