     So my concern is if I was to go for another work assessment and fail it would I get sdp back ?

    Unfortunately not because once it erodes and you lose it then it won't be awarded again in the future.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. You can be reassessed anytime from 3 months but there’s huge backlogs so you’ll likely be left alone for quite a while.

    Sadly that does indeed suck. On the plus side you are at least still getting a little more money that you previously got.

    I can see why you might think that.
