Have been on pip for a number of years, but had a nervous breakdown last year and still on medication, can I add this to my ongoing claim that ends in 3yrs time when I will be 70? Thank you

Hi I'm 67 and have pip ongoing which is up when I'm 70,
Last yr I suffered a mental breakdown and still on medication.
Would I be able to apply for the enhanced mobility and daily living now that I'm over 65, or is it not worth the upheaval ,,thanks

Hi @scatter912 - I'm sorry to read you had a nervous breakdown last year. As far as PIP goes, you can't add this to your existing PIP claim. Rather you would have to notify the DWP of your condition changing, & complete a PIP review form.

Just to say, it might be worth looking at the PIP 'descriptors' to see if you would gain sufficient points to increase your award; if not, it's probably not worthwhile at the moment. Please see: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Scores-for-PIP-Descriptors-2020.pdf

I hope this will help you make an informed decision.
