Am I allowed to reapply for PIP?

Dowrie6glasgow

I have a range of age related illnesses, Angina , arthritis, and had a triple by pass in 2007. At present stating to fall, mainly backwards and mainly at night, latest 4 falls in one night last week. Been to GP and being investigated.
I have bi polar ii and anxiety conditions, which are unpredictable in nature but can lead upto a depressed week + in bed.and no contact with people and paranoid ideas about everything loaded with verbal aggression if I feel uderattack with people when my ideas being thwarted. I have in the past threatened them with harm for no reason.
I was awarded full DLA in 2011 then had to apply for PIP in 2018 which I was given 2 points for hearing aids. On the assessment when I explained I seldom ate when depressed, the assessor replied " you're not exactly skinny" and seemed to be ill equipped to assess anything remotely concerned or knowledgeable about psychiatric conditions or side effects of medication.
Whilst on DLA I was able to stop paid work and instead do 2 days voluntary and attend support groups. Since having to go back to work my physical and mental conditions have worsened.
Sorry for being long winded. Am I allowed to re apply for PIP or any other assistance

Hi @Dowrie6glasgow Welcome to the community its great to have you on board

In answer to your question yes you can re-apply for PIP.
I would have a good look a the descriptors and see if you think you should score points against them before you decide to claim also get some medical evidence prepared.

To apply just ring and start the application process though there are long delays at present time
