new medical condition should I reapply for PIP?

DrLight wrote: I have just been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis in addition to my ongoing fibrmyalgia/depression and foot problems. Is it worth while contacting the PIP people about this. When I changing over to PIP I went from High on both categories to low on both categories.
Any help would be appreciated

Has there been a deterioration in your conditions or is it simply a diagnosis for symptoms that you were already suffering from?

If there has been a deterioration then the next thing to ask yourself is whether you would reasonably score the points for a higher award, if you think that you would then you should contact the DWP but be aware that this will result in a full reassessment of your claim and likely a new F2F.

If you can't see your scoring the extra points that you need then the DWP are unlikely to be bothered if you do not contact them.

As I said before, the real issue is how many extra points you might reasonably score as a result of this change, only you can decide whether it is worth pursuing or not, however, you need to have been suffering from any change for at least three months and if you do report a change then you will need evidence to support it. So it would seem sensible to wait and see your consultant.
