    Telling them about a minor change is pointless unless you think that 1 extra point will change your award. Even then, in order to get a revised award, you have to complete a new health questionnaire and go through the whole assessment process again.

    Hi @mickymoo. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ring them again if it puts your mind at rest.

    Unless you want to be reassessed I would leave things alone.

    I currently get 12 points for my mobility and 11 for the care component

    So 1 more point would increase your award. You just need to bear in mind that if you are reassessed a different Decision Maker might not score you the same as on your last award - it’s not just a case of adding 1 point to your existing award.
