I have my Telephone assessment tomorrow morning, I have an existing pip award I have asked them to re look at my claim as my disability has gotten worse.

hi @missybpink and welcome to scope, within 7 days the report should have been sent from the assessor to the DWP and you can request a copy of the report which will give you and idea of the award they recommend, it will then take the DWP DM (decision maker) around 8 weeks to decide they usually go with the report (but not always).
As it's due to a change of circumstances the new award will come into affect once the decision is made and no back pay will be due2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -

Yes it's as a result in me requesting it but was due to have my award looked at anyway, claim form sent out on 12th Feb and was told it would be backdated.
