Crohns Disease and PIP reassessment

My PIP award ends this November and I had to complete new paperwork and attend another medical assessment, I have chronic crohns disease which has declined rapidly since my first PIP award (for which I was originally turned down but won on appeal), I have also had to have Occupational Health assess me in my home as I am alone much of the time and my medications make life very difficult.......my assessment was 2 weeks ago and O.H came out today to see how I was getting on and also advised for extra aids to help me when I am home alone, the whole PIP application is so stressful and every time the post comes I get a fear of dread.........any advice would be greatly appreciated on anything else I can do.

Hi @BenefitsTrainingCo
Sorry but can you please help me with this post ???
Many thanks.
It is a good idea to request a copy of the assessment report from the DWP
Also gather as much evidence as you can, do you have anything from your doctors that talks about how your illness has worsened? I have Ulcerative Colitis and a permanent ostomy bag but was turned down for PIP. Well done for appealing and winning your first appeal and best of luck moving forward with the reassessment.
If you have any specific questions, you can call the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333.
