Change of circumstances

Thought it useful to let others know that reporting a change of circumstances will not necessarily trigger the completion of another PIP2 form - as most of the valuable guidance on this Community page suggests. I was in fact sent an Award Review form instead. Not sure what this depends on - the type of condition, severity of inability, previous supporting evidence in the DWP system - but thought I would pass this on. It may even be the new DWP policy - I don't know.
I still provided Additional information on separate sheets and completed each section. The writing spaces on the Review form are so short. It was immensely stressful to complete.

I don't think it matters which form you're sent to be honest. Your claim will still be looked at again and another assessment is most likely. The shorter form tends to confuse a lot of people.Change of circumstances shouldn't be reported without first getting some expert advice. Good to hear you used additional paper to add more information.0

Expecting to have another assessment - though the Review form does explicitly state that a decision 'may' be done on the strength of the supporting paperwork. Not holding out on that though - very few on this Community page have had a paper assessment as far as I can tell.
Thanks as ever for the insight.0 -
No worries. Paper based assessments are rare but they do happen. Just so that you're aware, you could be waiting several months, possibly longer for a decision.
