Rolo
The first thing you need to sort out is what benefit you are talking about
there is no Support Group for PIP, the SG is an ESA feature, so is it ESA or PIP?
If it is PIP then it depends on the form you have received, if it is another PIP2 then it is a full reassessment of your claim and you need to compete the form in detail and as a new claim, supplying evidence as you have even if it has been submitted before.
If you have received the AR1 form that asks whether your limitations are the same, worse or better then you are being asked about the period since you were last assessed. If your conditions remain the same then you do not need to go into detail about this, see the PIP Claim for more details.
If it is an ESA reassessment then you need to complete the ESA50 in detail and as a new claim, supplying evidence as you have even if it has been submitted before.

Thanks so much for coming back to me Gordon. Should have told you I have a mild brain injury, no wonder you were confused. Sorry, I did mean PIP and yes I am in the SG for ESA which I was awarded in 2014 without a medical which ends Aug 17. However, I had a nightmare with my PIP and even the judge (solicitor) apologised and awarded me enhanced mobility before I even sat down. They just wanted to talk to me about my daily living of which they awarded me enhanced with 14 points. They had to backdate payment 14 months and my Royal British Legion advisor at the time said I may have to re-apply for it again around Dec as it runs out in 9 months time. I just do not know whether I should be contacting DWP or waiting for an envelope to drop on the mat. It is doing my head in with worry. It is less stressful working but after 37 years I got told to stop.
