Change in health after PIP acceptance was created by Anthony
Hi all, with the much appreciated help of this site, both forum & guides i was awarded the lower rate of PIP mobility earlier this year. My health conditions are slowly but surely deteriorating & has recently been explained to me as a degenerate spinal condition. I now have issues in all 3 major sections of my spine & suspected Fibromyalgia (still waiting on appointments for this). My question is that as time passes & my condition worsens, how do I ask for a review of my condition? Do I just ring up? Will this trigger the whole process again? I desperately hope not. last time, I got 8 points on mobility & 6 points on daily living, not quite the required 8 points. At the time I was really happy with this as it entitled me toa blue badge & bus pass which has been a fantastic help. Sorry if this is covered somewhere in one of your guides but there is a lot of imformation out there & it's not that easy to find! Thanks in advance.

Hi Anthony

If your condition has deteriorated then you need to contact the DWP and inform them of a change of circumstances, this will trigger a new claims form to be sent to you.

You need to be aware that even if your health deteriorates you may still not be awarded any additional points, it would depend on many factors, before you contact the DWP you may want to check to see if you might we awarded a higher element by using our PIP self-tester www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-indep...nt-pip/pip-self-test

I was afraid it would start all over again! I think in this case I may just leave it for now, probably why they do it this way. I just can't face going through all that again, even if i know my condition is worsening. Maybe the sensible thing to do would be gather evidence for now & try in a few months. Thank-you for your help.
