Pip review form

hi all I received my pip review form recently.
Just looking for some advice tbh.
I had read lots of people saying that dont put no change on the form etc
On my form for each different activity/section there is the following three questions
Tell us how something has changed and approximately when
Tell us how you manage this activity now, including the use of any aids that you use
Tell us about any changes to the help you need or the help you get from another person.
There is 3 small lines to write under each section. No tick boxes.
Problem for me is there hasn't been any changes since my award, and the help I receive from family members hasn't changed at all either, making my form look extremely vague. Also to add to that, the only part where I can begin to write about how I manage the activitys now, the form gives just 3 small lines to write. I have typed on an extra pages about my health now as there's simply no room to write anything on these new forms. But now I am worried that the writing I attach and medical evidwnce will be simply ignored, and that writing no change will be simply looked at as a poorly written form and will go against me. Does anyone have any advise for me please, as I have just 2 weeks left to submit my form. Thank you for your time.

Certain stages of the PIP form can be difficult to fill in, because you're not sure if you should or shouldn't answer a particular question, but my best advice is just to be honest and provide as much evidence as you can.
Possibly answer with something like "My condition hasn't changed, but..." and then explain how your condition still impacts you like it did from the start.
They shouldn't discount any additional supporting evidence and documents that you send off with your renewal form, so I would recommend sending as much as you deem necessary. It is hard to fit all of your answers in the space they provide so additional paper is inevitable in my experience.
If you do want to read more information about how the PIP renewal process works, or if you need any support with it, you should visit this page on Citizens Advice.
Best of luck with the renewal, let us know how you get on and I hope to see you around the community more often going forward
