dla re-assessed was created by mat
hi everyone
i had my dla re-assessed in december 2011 and was awarded higher rate care and mobility after being on lower rate mobility for 8 years and to worried about losing that to ask for it to be re-assessed but as my condition had worsened i had no option but to ask to be re-assessed. now just over 4 months later i had a letter this morning ordering me to fill in a re-assessment form, i just cant believe this is happening, my dla award stated my new award was indefinite and they are re-assessing me already, is this what i get for having my condition worsen and having the cheek to ask for help, please does anyone have any advice, as i am now at the end of my tether, just when i was beginning to think things were looking up, i just cant believe they are re-assessing me after just 4 months, this surely cannot be right.
hope someone can offer guidance on this matter.
many thanks

It sounds like you are being re-assessed under the Right Programme, see
The Right Payment Programme
However, it is my understanding that this should not include anybody who was assessed within the last year.
I would contact the DWP, there should be a contact number on the accompanying letter, they may be able to explain why you have received this form and whether you need to complete it.
