Hi @Raphael - & welcome to the community, I'm sorry to read you got attacked & that this has left you with additional problems.As PIP isn't based on any diagnoses, you should look carefully at the PIP activities/descriptors first here: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/personal-independence-payment-descriptors-and-scores-april-2023.pdfThen check to see if you feel you could get sufficient points to increase your current PIP award from standard to enhanced. You could also ask for some help with this by looking here: https://advicelocal.uk/& use 'Welfare benefits' from the drop down menu.If you ask for your award to be looked at again, this is called a 'Change of circumstances,' & you'd be sent a new claim form, have to have another assessment, etc. & this could either raise or lower your award, or it could stay the same, so you need to be aware of this possibility.

Hello @Raphael
Welcome to the community!
I'm so sorry to hear about your attack. Did you report it to the police? I see Chiarieds has helped advise on your PIP query. I wanted to reach out as you said you need more support. Have you used one of the benefit calculators to see if you are eligible for any other benefit?0
