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 routeBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
