Yes  you will be re assessed and get a new award so you could end up getting less
Only report a change if you are sure that your new information is going to alter your point scoring on the descriptors

No.  You keep your current payments until after reassessment. 

A a word of warning.  A lot of people have said that after reporting their disabilities getting worse they have lost not gained points!  You might want to consider if it might be better to wait until your next review.

When you say they reassess you when  you report a change of circumstances is that another f2f or do they just write back to you onlt asking as dont think could handle going through it again at for a couple years many thanks for any help on this please

It's another face 2 face assessment as most people have them. Be very careful when reporting a worsening of condition because it doesn't mean you'll be awarded more points. I'd recommend getting advise before doing this.
