Hi,

When you report a change of circumstances a new decision will overrule the current award so yes they can reduce your award. When reporting a change they look at the whole award again and not just part of it.

You can request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) for this decision. You should put this in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. Include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.

Have you seen the email I sent you @scotty2022? Please do take a look at that if you get a moment. 

I'm sorry to hear that your health has worsened over the past year. Are you receiving enough support from your medical team to help you manage your conditions?

I definitely think it's important that you go to A&E if you're not feeling safe at the moment, @scotty2022. Is it okay if we carry this conversation on over email, or private message if you'd prefer?
