Hi Geraldine and welcomeIf you are unhappy with an award you can ask for a mandatory reconsiderationFirst have a look at the descriptors and criteria for an award to see if you can justify a higher award.Nobody on a forum can tell you whether you do or should meet the criteria, but be aware that you can lose your award. How many points were you awarded ?Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

Hi @Geraldine33, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us. You may be particularly interested in our Autism and Asperger's category, and our parents and carers discussions.
We also have some knowledgeable benefits advisors and experienced members on the community, so if you do decide to appeal, feel free to ask for help or guidance in our PIP/DLA discussions too. Please do keep us updated and we'll advise where we can.
