I got my first.PIPS review forms, first for 5 years. Most of the questions are asking me whether anything has changed since 2016. If nothing has changed since my last claim do I just write no change.
This looks as though it is simple and will save time.

Already started reading the Members guides for pips, and taking notes.

Hello Cipolar,

Thank you for your kind words, it is always good to hear that what we think is a great resource actually is!

Do have a look at the PIP Award Review form section of our PIP guide. It starts at page 113.

Yes, you can just write ‘no change’ and if that is all you have the energy to do, then it is certainly better than not getting the form back to them! However, as you see in our guide we do recommend that you reiterate what your problems are and where possible send in evidence to demonstrate what you are saying. I would also suggest that you try and reflect back to 2016 and see if the impact of your condition is really the same. It is possible that it is, but many things change slowly so that we don’t really notice them.

Thank You Catherine

I decided to sit up last night and used the guides. Best to get started I though as have put off a week. Yes things have got worse which is not surprising considering how we are living so have made sure they know that.

Hopefully there will be enough information, have done it so if someone did not have th 2016
in front of them, they can understand what is wrong. Bipolar, Mental Health have long history, so will let you know if it goes through without tha hassle of an interview. Keep up the excellent work and WE DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Thanks again,
