Hello - I Have A PIP Review Question

Hi I awarded PIP in 2015 for 3 years and I understand that they review within the 3rd year. I got my review form and had to send it back by 5th July which I did. I hadn't heard anything until this week when I received a letter from Capita - It just said they had my form and were assessing it and would be in touch. It didn't give a assessment appointment but did send the information.
My questions are - The letter never mentioned it was a review it read as if it were a first application, is this just the standard wording?
Also, because it's with capita does that mean that an assessment is a given? I ask because I have a life long condition and although some things have got worse it's not something that I prove only the increase in medication. I'm just wondering if this is usual because I just assumed it would just stay as it is.
Sorry for the essay

Even if it is a reveiw a report has to be done by the outside contractor in your area, it does not mean you will have a f2f although most people do
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
I think it is time for the "assessors" to be "assessed". My good friend has received her "assessment" report. The "assessor" stated that she "assessed" her hips and knees. NO SUCH EXAMINATION TOOK PLACE. The condition of a patients hips cannot be assumed if the patient is sitting down in front of an "assessor" who is sitting behind a desk!!! This is one for an orthopaedic person who knows what to look for! Spelling mistakes too. Also commented that claimant was carrying a plastic bag!!!!?
