Hi D,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
The qualifying criteria for Higher Rate Care Component of DLA stipulates that care is "Reasonably Required" throughout the day and the night.
To gain a better idea of how and why you were only awarded LRC, you may wish to request any documentation that was used in coming to this decision, see : DLA Medical – What forms to ask for?
You can do this by issuing a SAR :
www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/request-for-personal-information.rtf
From this page :
www.dwp.gov.uk/privacy-policy/data-protection/
If you wish to appeal this decision, you have one month from the date of the DLA Decision Notice letter. This can be done by downloading and printing off a GL24 Form from this page :
How to submit an appeal
From our : Appeals FAQ’s
As you will see in the above FAQ's there is some risk involved.
As requested documents using a SAR can take up to 40 days to arrive, you should not miss your one month deadline to appeal if these have not arrived. You can always state in the GL24 that you have requested the documentation, and will provide more evidence if appropriate when you receive it.
To give you a better understanding of how and why you may have not been awarded HRC, you should review our : DLA Guides
You will also find an appeals guide on that page.
