Hi @wcollard1602, welcome to the community. I'm really sorry this has happened to you. You did the right thing by telling them that your conditions had become worse, so I can understand the frustration that they've taken points away.

You definitely won't be the only person this has happened to unfortunately. They look at the whole award after changes are reported and it can sometimes mean your points go down rather than up, it can feel really demoralising at times.

But fingers crossed your appeal is successful and you can get the decision you need soon!

As Rosie has said, it is not rare what has happened to you and it is nothing personal. Hope you get it back!
