You should treat a review like its a new claim and put in detail how things affect you with some real world example. Just putting no change and no other information isn't good for reviews.

it's my fire review and never 👎 seen any were to add stuff the review on 6 july aye heard there was lot back log am

already on enchanted mobility hopefully everting comes back ok

Everytime you do a review, you need to treat like you are claiming for the first time again, and write in details with more evidence on how things affect you. If you didn't put anything and just wrote no change, this could go against you and might affect your PIP claim.

I added several extra pages stating how my disabilities affect me.

People who give advice on this forum usual say never just put no change but to give as much info as possible support your claim.

now makes me more worried about the review as aye didn't add anything and just ticket the no change box do you know time scales on review

There is still backlogs to get through with reviews, so might take a few months before your assessment. Reviews are generally the same as new claims, with the same system apart from you'll still recieve your PIP till your review is fully complete.

You should ideally write an A4 seperate piece of paper for each descriptor describing in detail what happens when you try to do the task, if anyone witnessed you doing it, what was the repocussions of trying the task and any support you need to do the task. Always include your name and NI number ontop of each seperate piece of paper and send with your review. If you had witnesses when you tried to do a certain task, having someone write a witness statement also helps.

Try send as much info as possible, as they don't tend to look at old evidence.

I've never had an assessment so can't comment on them, I've only ever had a paper based assessment.
