Pip review due

Hi CD123,

It is highly likely that an assessor will ask about work. As you may be aware PIP is a points based benefit that relates to various specified activities. If you can show that the reasons for giving up work relate to PIP activities, such as fatigue, moving about, engaging with other people etc then evidence of not being able to work is likely to be relevant to PIP. Maybe you have a medical report about not being able to work, this may also be relevant.
There is no doubt that having evidence will help your PIP claim or review, but try to limit this only to what is strictly relevant. If you haven't done so recently, gave a look at the members guides which provide more detailed information as to what to include.
Hope this helps, good luck with your review.

Hi Catherine,

I apologise, I misunderstood, thinking you were totally off work. However, I don't think it makes any difference, just say that you are currently on long term sick.
Have you thought of your employment options going forward? Depending on the nature of your work, you might be able to work part time if this can be agreed.Your current employer, or indeed a new one will have to make 'reasonable adjustments' to allow you to get back to work, if this is can be done. However, if you have been on long term sick leave, it may be your employer and /or GP might feel that continued employment is no longer viable, at least at present. Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) is a benefit for people who have long term illness/disability or who can no longer work. There is information about ESA within the members guides on this website, in case you need further help.
