I have been receiving the lower end of p.i.p for a couple of years now for my mental illness.I received a form to fill in to see if I am still intitled to payments.The questions we're tell us of any changes in your illness.I just answered no change to them all,because I am just the same as when I first applied.I am worried that they may not renew my claim as this is all I wrote.should I be worried.

    I wouldn’t advise anyone to write no change without any other information. All claims should be treated as a new claim.

    Hello @duckie and thanks for reaching out, as Poppy has mentioned, it's likely this will be treated as a new claim, so the DWP will probably need more information to make a decision. If you're invited for an assessment, you're welcome to reach out here for support. 

    You can also search Advice Local to find a professional adviser near you, or contact Citizens Advice if you'd like to talk things through with someone. There's also the Scope Helpline as well :)  

    Let us know if you need help with anything further, and keep us up to date with how things go.
