    Hi welcome to the community.

    Yes you can request a review but I would advise you to seek assistance from Citizens advice or another free advocacy service.

    Hi @kazmoz and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    You can report a change to your needs or circumstances.

    PIP reviews ask how your health condition or disability affects your daily life and mobility now as they are checking if your needs have changed since your last award😊

    Lovely to have you here and I look forward to seeing you around the community!

    Hi @kazmoz, I was currently in a similar situation, I was on standard rate, and no mobility, but I have always known I should have been on enhanced for both, I just had no fight in me to try and update it and go through the stress of it all. Fast forward 6 year's and my MH alot worse, I bit the bullet and asked for a review to update my circumstances, filled the form out and sent off, received text to say they have received it on the 7th of this month. I will keep you posted with any updates, because it sounds like yours is similar to mine
