Hello, I am currently doing my pip renewal document. I’m completing it as if its a new claim as I’ve read thats what to do. In the interview though, will the assesor be like ‘when you applied in 2019 you said it was like this and now it is like this’, or will it just be based on how my conditions are now.
For example in 2019 I couldn’t prepare my food as the smells made me feel sick but now I cannot prepare the food as I am too weak to chop etc so its a different reason but same marking criteria. Do I focus on just the new reason or will the old reason be brought up?

They will ask you questions related to how you are now. When filling out the form you should give a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.Include detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.Just telling them you can't do an activity isn't enough.0

This is a review so it's all about how you are now and not how you were for your current claim. ON the review form, it asks you how you manage that acitvity now, not how you managed it previously.

You treat it as a new claim and you don't need to tell them how you were previously because that would just complicate things. During the assessment they would ask you how your conditions affect you now and not how they affected you previously.
