    You will only be awarded the Daily living component if you meet the criteria. First have a look at the descriptors to see which may apply to you.
    Then as you have an award in payment you can only apply for a change in circumstance if your condition has worstened since your last decision. Unless your decision is recent then you might try the MR and appeal route
