Hi Maries79

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum .

We cannot give you advice as we do not have all the facts, we would advise you to contact your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk where they can take all your circumstances into consideration.

In your post you say you asked for a review and not a change of circumstances therefore the out come will be different which is why you need to seek advice.
