PIP Review was created by bob.murison
Hi
Just read post saying that PIP review was carried out 80 weeks after returning form.
Raises interesting situation if poster reported worsened health 80 weeks ago or if health worsened during 80 week wait.
As any change in award will usually take affect from the date of the assessment.
Accept that if posters health has improved that they possibly received continued higher award before it is reduced due to huge delay.
Any comments ?

In case you are not aware your name may be showing as your Forum ID, if you want to change it have a look at the following
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum
To first answer a broader question, we have had a number of members reporting backdating of their award to the Review date where it has been clear that they met the higher criteria at the time they completed their form.
As to your specific question, if there is a deterioration while the claimant is waiting for assessment that would change any likely award then they should report it the DWP. I would recommend that their letter follows the format of the PIP2 and explains the changes for each Activity.
