PIP review form - question about 'no change' was created by eusabius
Hi,
I am in receipt of PIP and UC (having been transferred from ESA Support Group in November 2020 following a move to a different area). I live with my partner, who is also my carer and has been claiming Carer's Allowance since we transferred to UC. I have received my PIP review form. As my claim for PIP is for my mental health conditions only, to which there has been no change, I am planning to complete the form on a 'no change' basis, writing in the 'Tell us how you manage this activity now...' section basically what I said in my last review form. As I said, my partner has been claiming Carer's Allowance as my full time carer since November 2021, though she was caring for me just the same before that. In my previous review form I wrote about the care I receive from her in the 'Tell us how you manage...' sections. Do I now need, because of my partner's 'official' status as my carer, and in spite of the fact there's been no change in the amount of care she gives me, to add anything to the 'Tell us about any changes to the help you get or the help you need' section? And will doing so mean it is more likely I will be passed on to Capita?
Thanks in advance

Hi eusabius
I would advise if you haven't already - just read through the PIP guide on filling out the review form.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants
I can't say whether if you add any information about your partner being your carer it is more likely they will forward the review form onto Capita. The majority of claimants get assessed at the review stage.
