I've moved this into a category so other members of our community can offer advice and support.
Just to confirm, is this benefit relating to PIP?
It actually came under industrial injuries...when awarded it was at 20% i believe its more now...ive had 4 further surgeries and now to have a complete knee replacement next week. The disability has never been reviewed as to capacity or increased incapacity
Thanks in advance
