    Hey there @272 and a warm welcome to the community.

    Could you just confirm what you mean with PHB please? Is that personal health budget? When was this put in place and what's lead to the adjustments?

    Not a worry at all @272 I just needed to make sure you weren't speaking about Dungeons and Dragons. 😆

    Sometimes they may feel, despite needs not actually changing, that ways of receiving help can be of a higher standard for less time, so they'll reduce payments with that reasoning. Hopefully that makes some sense? I'm hoping a community member with more experience with PHBs may be able to shed a bit more light on possible reasonings.
