Hi, my name is Jenny61!

I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis right through my body and am undergoing tests for Sjorgren's Syndrome. I'm happy with the amount of PIP I'm on so have never felt the need to increase my points as the pain gets worse. Now, if I ask for a reassessment I'm scared that they will think I'm doing it just so I won't lose my benefits. My points don't number more than 3 for each item.

Hi @Jenny61 and a warm welcome to the community!
It's understandable why you're feeling scared, it is a very worrying and stressful time for disabled people at the moment.You may be interested in the Green Paper Discussion and Spring Statement Discussion as members are chatting about the recent news there.
It's lovely to have you on the community and I hope you enjoy your time here
