Since the settings where unchanged I just signed out and back in (note: I didn't check the settings before singing out but I assume they are as I left them).
After a couple on restarts I am back where I started. Still a diamond...
Hi @SomeUser89132
Thanks for your feedback.
If the steps that you tried do not work, this "My Benefits" icon is unable to be removed.
I suggest you submit this issue to Microsoft: How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office?.
Sorry for bringing you a bad experience
