Hello @mjj and welcome to the community. So very glad to have you with us.
As I keep stressing to people, you are in a safe place here and among friends. Don't be shy of telling us about yourself or of asking any questions you may have.
Since your first enquiry is benefits related, can I direct your attention to the links (white on a purple background) lower on the page? Look in particular at those under 'Employment, finances and ESA' - there are four, any and each of which may prove of use to you. And I'm going to put the link in here to Talk about PIP/DLA My gut feeling - which could of course be wrong - is that that might be the benefit/s you are concerned about.

Others who know more or have more experience will be in touch with you in due course, but I'm here and listening and hoping to assist , if that helps.
Warmest best wishes to you,

Hi mjj
Have a look at the B&W self test to see what points your OH should score

If you deserve an award then you should challenge a wrong decision, however the whole award will be looked at again you can lose points as well as gain them.
How safe is the DL component ?

@mjj
If you think there could be no justification for lowering or removing your current award then you have nothing to lose by appealing. 65% of appeals succeed. A Tribunal increased my award.
