Hi, When I first got my pip some lovely people who post on here helped enormously so hoping someone can again please. I was transferred from DLA to PIP and awarded high on both counts. I also have a soft touch review coming and it says are there any changes to your condition? well yes there are, I am really very much worse and no hope of ever getting better. Is it best to just tick a box and say no change to my already higher benefit that I get, or say yes, some changes I am very much worse now. I am housebound and a pensioner, and already feel my life is over but we keep going. 😐️

    If you are a State Pensioner it will be light touch. I would mention your worsening condition personally even though you are on Enhanced rates.

    Thank you Trevor, I have been reading of others similar situation to me but no change for them. I also read that if you say yes a change then it always starts the process of a new review, ie. home visit or interview. I was lucky and had a home visit when first awarded, it was daunting but the lady who was medically trained could see all my equipment I used. I am nervous to repeat a new review and start a new claim again. Thanks for the reply, so many others who feel really worried about things mine is nothing really. Thanks. 😶
