By reconsideration do you mean your symptoms have worsened so you applied for an increase in your award?

If so there is no limit as such but obviously once you are on the highest rate(s) there would be no point in requesting any more

As part of a reconsideration the decision maker could decide you are not entitled to the points you already have but this would seem unlikely.

In the beginning I received low care and low mobility even though I use arthritic crutches applied for mandatory reconsideration they granted me high care only by an extra 1 point and still low mobility for 4 years until sept 2017 they said I will receive a call from them in sept 2016 to see if anything has changed,now my mobility has worsened I now use indoor walker also outdoor but I have been told if I say my mobility has worsened I will need to make a new claim and I may lose everything,this is so stressful I just don't know what to do because I don't know if I have to tell them about the changes in my mobility or not if I do there is a risk of me losing everything if I don't tell them now they will ask me of any changes in sept with the call back so I can't win I dread of going to an appeal only I don't know how it all works if I don't say anything I don't know if I am doing wrong also if I say something it might be wrong,what will happen in 2017 when its due to end will it carry on or will I need to make a new claim.

You don't need to post your question multiple times, moderators are only on at certain times of the day.

Unless you believe that you now meet the criteria for an Enhanced Mobility award you don't need to contact the DWP.
