Urgh don't get me started on this lot. Four year old daughter's DLA was cut by £100 a month, not because her circumstances have changed at all, but because they now "no longer just take your word for it" that there is a sleep issue / night time care required?? We were on the phone like "Err you are more then welcome to come to our house at 3am on a bad night and watch Peppa Pig with her, I could do with the extra sleep."
Essentially you get more if the person requires 24/7 care frequently, which she does. But they've changed the rules so that, unless you have medication for sleep issues (doping up a 4 year old!) or can prove that you are part of a professional "sleep program" of some description, they won't accept that any night time care is needed. I'm 100% sure that it will be sorted but it's jumping through yet more hoops with all of her health care professionals, trying to get appointments with her paediatrician (who is great but very busy and hard to get an appt. with) etc.
