Good Morning & Welcome it’s great to have you today.

We have got a member who is very very good with Benefits.
I will forward your post onto her straightaway.
Hi @poppy123456
I have got another “Benefit Inquiry” for you.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the tag @steve51HI and welcome,You can put in a change of circumstances for a worsening of condition if you think he should be awarded mobility. Although do be aware that if you do this you will be sent more forms to fill in and return and you do risk him losing everything he already has. Of course they could award him a higher rate, along with the mobility part and the decision could also stay the same.This link may help but it does depend on how he's affected. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/disability-living-allowance/before-you-claim-dla/claiming-dla/
