I'm in Cardigan West Wales. I have walking disability due to spine damage from an injury and nerve damage to my hands which makes everyday tasks more difficult than normal. I'd welcome advice re pips as year ago when they started doing cuts I was shunted from high level care to medium level. I'm wondering how to get it pushed back to high??? I'm on high mobility.

Hi Marian and welcome
You will only get the enhanced rate by showing that you meet the criteria for the award
How long is your current award ?
You can only enter a change of circumstance if you have a new condition or a significantly worsted one
It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and the criteria for an award. A good place to start is the B&W self test
