PIP first review

Is it a good idea to write on your form what scores you got last time, and state you still struggle with this activity etc?

It shows the assessor what you were awarded before. But I am not sure if some assessors would see it as you telling them what to do?

We know they have access to your previous award and files, but they hardly have the time to access, so often don’t.

Anyone done this, and did it help?

I know it’s suggest to do this if at tribunal, but what about if it’s not?

    Heya @Skysummer I'd say it's not necessary, but it may be helpful to include a brief summary of your previous award? It's totally your call, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt your review. 😊
    The best way of doing a review is writing the forms out as if you were applying for the first time, as you said they often wont look at previous forms.
