If the DWP have changed the decision before the tribunal's award period had ended they have superseded the decision. They can only do this if they can prove that your condition has improved and your needs lessened. Telling the DWP this won't make any difference as they don't listen or understand the regs most of the time, but it may help you to win the tribunal next time as a legal matter rather than going through all the questioning again on the daily living and mobility tasks.
Please don't give up though. I know it's hard and it's tiring appealing all the time but we can't let the DWP do what they want and we can't let them get away with poor decision making. You owe it to yourself and all the other disabled people in the UK to keep fighting it! All the very best.

You are right the DWP do have to show good reason why they have changed the award at this time.
Am I not correct that a new face to face assessment, new claim form and a new functioning report could well be all the evidence that the DWP need in showing why the award has had to change?
