Help needed

Mowgli

my daughter has recently changed from DLA to PIP and is in receipt of Direct Payments for which she pays a charge to the Council.  This has increased by four times the amount as the disregard of 24 hour care is no longer regarded as a “disregard”. Any one had experience of this?
