Hi all 1st time posting on here, bit of back story I'm 45 & suffered a stoke 15yrs ago it has left me with partial vision loss, reduction in my hearing ( i have 2 aids), recently my health has got worse i suffer with anxiety & depression as I have to use 2 crutches i also have carpal tunnel & tennis elbow, for which I am having physio as well as physio for double prolapse & am waiting for Neuro physio. I have a severe stammer triggered by stress, most of this is recent i don't know if I should tell pip about changes or wait until my review in 2020 i get standard rate for both.

    Hello @Purdyuk   Pleased to meet you welcome.

    I am unsure of an answer to your question. You have to understand benefit queries are complex and confusing.

    I would add a member of our team or a member of our community will be in touch.

    We are a supportive community. Care and share.

    Friendly.

    Please ask anything you need to know some one will answer.

    Please take care

    I would recommend using a benefit calculator and only tell them if your situation changes the rate you should receive.
