calcotti said: Following a tribunal award you will normally not be sent a renewal form but DWP will write to you inviting you to make a new claim. This used to be about 14 weeks before the end of the award but you may want to contact them sooner than that.PIP is assessed on the difficulties you experience, not on a diagnosis.

I understand it not being based on diagnosis, I just hoped they might take ADHD/Autism more seriously than ME/CFS as I do have a lot of issues with people believing how severe it is.I will definitely be getting welfare rights or CAB adviser involved this time, I tend to waffle on a lot and don't always know how to word things to get across how things affect me. I also struggle with relating it to real world experiences I've had when trying to attempt the activities so they should be helpful.
