Making an unscheduled review because of a change of circumstance

Making an unscheduled review means reviewing the individual’s entitlement to CDP, taking account of the change in circumstances since the last determination.

This involves:

• considering how their needs affect their entitlement to mobility and care component
• applying the backwards and forwards test (The chapter on Backwards and Forwards Tests explains the tests in more detail)
• working out when the change in entitlement should begin.
