Hi
I can't seem to find any information online of the process if you report a positive change in health.

My question is:
If you no longer want to receive the mobility element of pip but still want to continue with the living element do they change your award to just the living element or do you have to have a complete reassessment?

Nothing has changed with the daily living problems but mobility has improved and don't feel comfortable receiving that element now .

Thanks

Yeah you need to have a complete re-assessment sadly

It's really nice to hear you feel you don't need the mobility element anymore

but I'd urge you to maybe go over it with a fine tooth comb, are you able to do all the stuff in good time, repeatedly, reliably, without any help etc.

I'm sure someone will word it better but good luck

I couldn’t agree more with mustang here. Though your health condition has improved has this been the case for at least 3 months and do you expect it to continue for at least the next 9 months.

Do also remember that for PIP it’s the majority of the days that count, not all of the time. Just because you see improvements this doesn’t mean you’re no longer entitled to the award.

Hi @sunny57 and welcome to the community.

I can see you've already had your question answered, but I wanted to pop in and say hello.

As usual sound advice from Poppy and also Mustang.
If you really need to do something to celebrate having your mobility you could save the mobility money in a separate account and leave it until your next review.
Then you would see if you still have any issues and if you didn't need the mobility money you could give it back and celebrate having your mobility.
