If you have PIP2 form then I would recommend that you treat it as a new claim, fill the form out in detail and provide supporting evidence as you can, even if it is evidence that has already been submitted.

The PIP Descriptors and Regulations remain unchanged from when you last completed the form, but there have been updates to the DWP guidance so you should use the latest PIP Claim guide to help you explain your limitations.
