Making an unscheduled review because of a change of circumstance

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

This involves: 

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