A deterioration is something you address when it happens rather than in advance. Your physical condition is not relevant. The consequences of your physical condition are. It’s worth doing a self assessment using the tools somewhere like Benefits and Work and then getting face to face advice before taking any action.
That said, how long is your award? If it’s not ongoing then it’s worthy of challenge anyway. Again though, get advice first. -
Are you on ESA IR. Standard award means you keep your sdp.
Standard award mobility I think gets you a bus pass.
Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -

Be grateful for everything and anything you receive we are not forced by the DWP to applie for benefits its' our choice whever its' through hardship or not .
