    You won't automatically be reassessed as you are not currently on DLA or PIP.

    Did you ask DWP for a copy of the assessor's report and for a mandatory reconsideration (MR)?

    You can make a new claim for PIP at any time.  PIP is awarded not for medical conditions themselves but for how they affect your daily living and mobility. Try to get some f2f advice from CAB or similar.

    Also, Disability Rights UK site has a good guide to PIP.
