However, you should be aware that The DWP would most probably look at the whole of your existing DLA awards afresh.
Another important issue to take into account before reporting a Change of Circumstances (C of C) to DLA is that if you are in an Active PIP Postcode Area, the review carried out as a result of reporting The C of C would be under PIP qualifying criteria, rather than DLA.
You should be able to check whether or not your live in an Active PIP Area :
