You don't say how long your DLA award was for, so is it possible that this is a renewal?

If not, then it sounds like you have been selected for re-assessment, see

Hi W,

When you were first awarded DLA, was the the award for 3 years? if so then it is due for "renewal".

Even, if the award was for a longer period, or indeed indefinate, a claimant can be reviewed at ant time after 12 months of the initial award.

This is done at random, with a percentage of DLA recipients annually.
