We recently attended a meeting where someone advised that when a Judge gives a warning that the person may lose what they have got then this can be treated as an error of law
This is when say a person has standard rate care and we are looking only for mobility and they look at whole award.  Anyone know if there is case law on this?

See [2015] UKUT 240 (AAC) in recent case law on Rightsnet as an example

link to [2015] UKUT 240 (AAC) here

In [2015] UKUT 275 (AAC) - the judge said that while there is no protected right to points awarded by the decision maker, the FIrst-tier Tribunal should nevertheless advise the appellant if it has misgivings about the points in order that he or she has the opportunity to make his or her case in the knowledge of the arguments to the contrary following two previous decisions -  AS v SSWP [2012] UKUT 334 (AAC) - and TS v SSWP (ESA) [2012] UKUT 182 (AAC)
