Hello Katho31 I don't understand the answer to this question are you talking about yourself?

Hello katho31 did you just have your Assessment done if so I wish you all the best and fingers crossed you will get both living and mobility

Hi @delise1 Hello and welcome. I would suggest that if your PIP is already due to end and it has been extended due to covid I wouldn't bother reporting the change in circumstances.

By reporting a change this will trigger a new assessment anyway and if you are due one anyway there isn't any point as this wouldn't be dealt with any quicker than your review. Also reporting a change means the whole award is reviewed and could result in a loss of what you have now it could also be a gain.

Hope this helps and you underdstand what I am saying

I am presuming you are hoping to get a higher rate for mobility

Hi janer1967 thanks for your reply yes I hope that they would because I cannot walked very far without feeling  Severe pain in both feet. I also suffered from chronic pain and fatigue  and anxiety this is a lot of pain for me to cope with
