And yes you do need to treat it as though it were a new claim.

@mikehughescq thanks I will do. will they compare my one from 3 years ago to my new claim? like why didn’t she put this and that on my old claim. just to give me a heads up that’s all.

@mikehughescq once my award review is due based on what’s in the form and new documentation can they extend it? Or do you have to go to a medical assessment when there back on. as I’ve heard some people can get it if they have enough information ect ect

Hi,

1 - they won’t compare. Each application stands alone, but, if it goes to appeal you or they might want to compare to earlier claims.

2 - the PIP assessment is not a medical assessment. It’s about functional consequences. Paper assessments take place in about 23% of cases and would require them to have significant info on record already. 

3 - the award length is largely random unless you ask for a specific award length and explain why.
