Description

There is an accessibility issue with the Decimal component when using the prefix prop.

Issue:
When navigating a Decimal input using a screen reader (VoiceOver) in Safari, the prefix (e.g., £ or $) is announced as a separate element instead of being included as part of the input’s accessible name.

Expected behavior:
Screen readers should announce adornments as part of the field label, not as independent text, i.e. "Balancing charge, £" instead of just "£"
