Yes, you can but you cannot now be awarded the Mobility component unless you already have an award for it and it cannot be increased if you only have a Standard award.

Although you say that your condition(s) have worsened that does not mean that you will score higher than you currently do or sufficiently for a higher award, so make sure that you review the PIP activities in our PIP Claim guide and what points you might score.

If you decide to go ahead then write to the DWP reporting the Change and why it has happened. If you can afford it then send the letter using a Tracked post so you have proof of delivery.

Expect to receive a new PIP2 and almost certainly an assessment. If successful then any new award should be backdated to the date of your letter.
