in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA

I have received a letter from pip asking if there’s been any changes to me getting about & also personal care because I was working. I have had to give up my job due to my mental health condition. But things have deteriorated over the last 12 months I get nothing for mobility & I have my fibromyalgia diagnosis now which I had the struggles but nothing to back up what I was saying when I was awarded. Do I just send back not working now due to my health conditions or do I add on the troubles I have with getting about. I’m at a loss with it thanks

    @traceypeacock a few have had these letters, it is to check you are getting the right level of PIP. You tell them everything that has changed as you have to reply to that letter. Let them know about your fibromyalgia diagnosis and the fact you had to leave work due to mental health issues. Tell them how you are struggling day to day. If you are struggling with mobility let them know this too and why. Send any medical documentation too.

    thankyou for the response I shall do that today I am a little worried as I should of probably told them all this a while ago but I have had a lot of personal issues going on & everything’s only deteriorating I’ve no doubt they will have me in for another assessment & I just couldn’t face it all. I appreciate your help greatly

    You can mention why you have not been in touch. You may get a call but it's a nice call from what I have read on this forum. More of a chat.
