Previous Pip evidence

I have registered a change of circumstances for pip, and am filling in the forms. I've gathered my new evidence to send with the form.

However, will the assessor look at my previous evidence from my original claim a few years ago? I don't want to send them things they already have, but I also want to make sure they have as much evidence as I can provide and I'm worried they won't bother looking at the previous evidence and base it just off the new stuff I send them.

    Sometimes they look back but not always. For reviews or change of circumstances your file will be sent to a decision maker first to see if a decision can be made without sending everything to the assessor. If it can then they will do that. When this happens no assessment report is written, they just look at your current form you filled in, any additional evidence you sent and potentially the previous evidence and assessment report that was written.

    Please make sure you fill the form in with as much relevant information as possible, without telling your life story.
