I don't think it is possible to get a copy of the last one you submitted but I may be wrong.
Don't worry too much about it sweet. Its your chance to let them know any other difficulties u have day to day that may have developed over the laat 5 years.
For the future it's always a good idea to keep photocopies of these forms for future reference.
If we can be of further help just ask @charlotte441
You can make a subject access request and ask the DWP to send you a copy of your last PIP2 form, a copy of the assessor's report etc.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-your-personal-information-from-the-department-for-work-and-pensions#if-you-need-a-copy-of-any-other-information-that-dwp-holds-about-you
The DWP should hold copies of records for 14 months after a benefit claim has ended according to this:
(https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dwp-information-management-policies/dwp-managing-customer-records-guide )
I would just say be precise in what you request. I asked for my DLA records and ended up with several trees worth of paper most of which I didn't need
It is important you complete the review form as if it is a new application detailing against each descriptor how your condition affects you on a daily basis giving examples of what happens if you try and complete the task, any aids or support you need.
You should send any new medical evidence they have not already seen, like consultant letters, maybe a daily diary or any statements about how your daily living is affected along with copy of your prescription meds.
It is ok for somebody else to write the form out for you, maybe a cklose friend/relative. Some people ask for assistance from CAB but make sure they are fully aware of how you daily living is affected.
Hope this helps,
