re-submitting supporting info for PIP review?

I'm filling out the PIP Award Review form. I don't have new supporting documents since the last review. The guidance says 'not to send information you've sent us before'
do you think it's best in this case not to send documents, or should I re-send things I've sent previously even though that's not recommended in the guidance?
Alternatively, I was thinking of including something in the additional information (Question 13) to the affect of saying I have a chronic lifelong condition and to please refer to the supporting documents previously submitted. Would that be worth doing?

Hi gidsg

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

If you follow the link below it will tell you what you need to know about completing the PIP review. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claim...ip-award-review-form

Our PIP Claim guide covers completing the AR1 Review form (1043 Review), remember, whatever the form says you are being assessed against the same criteria as before. I personally would send what ever supporting documents you have, even if they have been sent in before especially if your condition has not changed since you were last assessed.

It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the AR1, just make sure that each page has your full name and NINo at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X. If there has been no change in your circumstances tick the relevant box and then write below please see page ‘x’ of ‘y’, you do need to explain your condition even if it has not changed. If your condition has changed, then tick the relevant box and explain what has changed and how it affects you.

Attach the pages to the back of the form using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.

If you have any further questions please come back to the forum.
