I have been advised by a DWP advisor to make a new cliam for PIP as my condition as changed. I went to see my new consultant a few weeks back and she did some Tests I have fallen arches and very flat feet she is thinking about an operation to break my feet and put an arch in to be honest I'm not very happy about it.
I know at this moment I only get middle rate for care and mobility but I have five different types of epilepsy spondolosis COPD the epilepsy is not controlled with violence against family members nothing I can do because I don't know I'm doing it.
I would like to ask if I applied again I get PIP now would they stop it until they make a new decision thanks.

You wouldn't make a new claim because your condition has changed, you would simply advise the DWP of the change. You would continue to be paid your current rate of PIP while they are making a decision.
Reporting your condition has changed will trigger a new assessment. Unfortunately, many who have reported a change for the worse, after reassessment have had their benefits reduced, not increased! And then have had to appeal.
Reporting a change for the worse is risky. You might want to phone Scope Helpline for advice. Or ask your local CAB or similar advice organisation.1
