Hi everyone.......i have been receiving disability benefit from 2009 & was moved over to Pip 3 yrs ago.....I am currently on Enhanced Mobility & Standard Daily Living......my health has deteriorated greatly since then which leads me to believe that I would now qualify for ENHANCED DAILY LIVING as I am even more limited in what I can do......my question is ....how do I go about enquiring about this...hopefully someone can point me in the right direction please.

Hello Denise,
I don’t know if you are aware that your real name appears to be showing. If you would like to change that there are instructions here.
My full name is showing, how can I stop it.
You can notify the DWP of a Change of Circumstances by phone or by letter. This will trigger a new claim for PIP, and you will be sent a PIP2, which is the big form which I am sure you are familiar with. Any awards from your new claim will be back dated to when you notified them of a Change of Circumstances.
Unfortunately there is no way of ‘enquiring’ about it, as you ask in your post. And it would be remiss of me not to point out that the new assessment could find that you are awarded a lower award than you are currently receiving. Only you can be the judge of whether or not that is a risk worth taking. Do have a look at our PIP guides to help you make this decision.

I hope that helps
