    You should ask your medical team if they will issue you with a form known as a DS1500. If they do this you simply need to send a copy to PIP with a simple letter asking them to review your award. You can send it to FREEPOST DWP PIP 10. They should review your award within two weeks and I would expect it to be made up to enhanced rate of both components. 

    Are you claiming any other benefits.?
