in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA
I have received a pip changes in law form.
I feel a little daunted, not sure if should fill it in. 

It’s asking me to answer 5 questions regarding mixing with others from the first time I started claiming pip till when my current award ends Jan 2025.

now tbh I have had a lot of support and help through the years and it’s changed often. I can’t remember all the dates and I don’t want to get wrong and get in trouble. I can’t remember all the things I have said on previous forms.

I’m due to receive my review forms soon surly and worried this may affect that process when it happens? I could just be over thinking all of this.

Has anyone been through this process or no what happens next? 
Many thanks,

    Heya @Butterfliess please try not to panic about that form too much. Basically the DWP changed the laws on that specific descriptor and it means some people may be due an extra 2 points to their PIP, which could mean an increase in the daily living component,  this is all back paid also. So it would be worth doing. 
     If you can't remember every detail that's ok. PIP is all about how things affect you over 50% of the time.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong (that can happen!) but I think it's due to this change in law? Which goes back to claims as far back as 2016 by the looks of things.

    This current award started in 2022-2025. I am approaching my 4th review since 2016. The letter says that they are wanting to look back from 2016 till the end of this current award 2025.

    Thank you @Albus_Scope for your help. It’s difficult to think all the way back to 2016 and give dates of treatments ect.

    DDid you ever get an outcome to the petter as i have recently recived something similar it asks for bank details and a signature it does not specify much information other than i may be owed money due to a change in the law I've now spent over a week worrying I've done something wrong or being overpayed.

    I apologise about the long scree but any info would be appreciated thank you.
