Pip

Hi everyone🙂 So unfortunately my health has got significantly worse, and I am in and out of hospital because of it. I know I need to contact PIP and inform then, but I am just worried if I need to go for another f2f. When I want for my f2f last time I ended up having a panic attack because I was so scared. I just dont want to go threw it again till I need to get reassessed in 2022.
Thank you
Thank you

Of course, if you believe it will score enough points to push you into an enhanced award then go for it.
Sorry for waffling on x

Your health has worsened, not improved, but are already you on the highest award.
The only thing you do need to notify is if you spend more than 28 continuous days in hospital:

I keep saying this on here but people disbelieve.
Please look at my own journey with PIP with a change of circumstances.
Please look at how your illness stops you from what you can do on a daily basis 50% and over of the time.
I succeeded and you can succeed as well if you are honest about how you live from day today.
The DWP in their wisdom will only ever look at the effects of how you struggle from day to day. Not the 'affect' of any diagnosis.
Good lick with your claim. Xxx
If you read the comments from bash99 you will see that this person already has Enhanced for both parts of PIP, which of course means that reporting a worsening of condition is completely pointless, as advised.

@bekindalways - you chose not to follow advice and, as you have posted on here, your award was increased - well done with that...
However in this case bash99 is already on the maximum award.
I genuinely believe that your advice - or more accurately saying not to listen to others advice - isn't helpful.
