Hello,

I currently receive Daily Living at standard rate and Mobility at enhanced rate.

I would like some advice please on how to report a change of circumstance regarding my current situation, versus when I originally applied for PIP.

The new situation now is that I need to go to a clinic twice a week every week, to have compression bandages applied to both my legs and for the clinicians to monitor and manage the Pressure Sores and Oedema. The Compression Bandages cannot be applied by myself as it is a specialist technique.

To get to the clinic, my other half needs to drive me there so that I can physically attend the clinic. I cannot use public transport as I am wheelchair bound.

Elapsed time for me getting there and having the bandages applied etc twice a week is approximately 3 hours in total for both sessions per week.

So I want to report this change of circumstance and I was going to select "Daily Living Activities / Activity = 3. Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition / Descriptor = 'Needs supervision, prompting or assistance to be able to manage therapy that takes no more than 3.5 hours a week".

So my question is, how do I go about actually informing the PIP agency of the above change of circumstance, such that they will review my claim and take this change of circumstance into consideration?

Many Thanks,
Allan.
