I was awarded pip for 4 years in 2016 November standard rate on each I am now in a wheelchair and have been since January 2017 I have been told as my condition is worse to apply for a change of circumstances but I’m worried that if I do my money will stop until I have been assessed does anyone know if this is the case as it’s been putting me off applying or shall I just wait until my review I must state before this I had been on mobility for life.The whole process of the pip stresses me.

Hi @iwg,
A warm welcome to the community!
I am sorry to hear that you are having a stressful time, PIP can be very long and difficult process.
Many of our members have had similar experiences and will be able to provide you with support. You may be able to relate to some of their experiences.
I do hope you will find this helpful.
Take care

Hi and welcomeIf you do put in a change of circumstance your money will continue until a new decision is made. As your award was for four years in 2016 you can expect to be reviewed this year ie. a year before the end datedBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
