pip re-assessment

hi all, i have now been a subscriber to this fantastic forum for 2 years now, i have never asked anything as reading the information on here is more than helpful and it has made very interesting reading,
my question today is i have been awarded lower rate pip for my heart and back condition,
many years ago i worked in the ship yards and had an accident which caused a back injury and neck injury which over the years have started to become really bad to the point sometimes i cat even get out of bed, now 2 years ago i was finding it very difficult to walk up the stairs i had to stop as it felt i was running a marathon, so i went to the doctors and after a years worth of scans tests it was discovered i was in the early stages of heart failure, then as time went on my hands and arms have started to spasm and anything i was holding hot coffee or bag of sugar went every where so another scan revealed i have a little bit of bone floating up and down my spinal canal which every now and then touches a nerve as my doctor told me causing the spasm, i am also a diabetic type 2 with pains in my feet with pain out of this world, so i went back to see my doctor for a stronger pain killer for my back and neck and i am now on oramorph, which i must admit works better than the buramorphine i was on, if you looked at me you,d say i looked fine but as i,ve said before looks are very deceiving, my question is could i put in for a higher rate of pip? i am already on the lower rate, i have a blue badge and my mobility is becoming quite hard in recent months. i am sorry for this big write up but just needed to let you see the bigger picture, i appreciate any information. logan.

Hi Gordon, thank you for your reply, about 5 months ago my back just completely went i was in bed unable to move for the agony, as the time went on its slowly becoming worse to the point 2 and ahalf weeks ago it did it again but this time the pain was horrendous my wife rang the doctor i spoke to her breifly and she gave me dyazapan, now i went to see the doctor last week and asked for a stronger pain killer as now my left shoulder and neck with pins and needles in my hands started, the doctor i seen said: (its quite complex what you have) but never elaborated on it and gave me a prescription for oramorph. it was quite late when i typed my question up to you, i appreciate your help on this. and very well done to you all i,ve read the highs and lows of others and all of you deserve a medal. many thanks logan.

Hi Logan,

You should be aware that when you report a deterioration you should talk about your condition as it is for the majority of the time. The PIP guide explains how to deal with fluctuating conditions.

Hi Mrs Hurtyback, i appreciate your comment, i have had a look, i think i am due for a review next year so it maybe worth just waiting for the review as they came out to the house to see me, in the meantime i intend to grab a mug of coffee and do some more reading on your help section.
i really do appreciate your help and gordons help on this so a BIG THANK YOU to you both. Logan.
