Hi and welcome
If you already claim PIP and think you should get a higher award then did you appeal the decision ?
If you are out of time to appeal you can either wait until your next review or report a change in circumstances which will trigger new forms a new assessment and new decision -
Hello @jwazza17 and welcome to Scope's online community.
I've moved your post over to our PIP, DLA and AA discussion board and have tweaked the title slightly, to help others who might have the same question.
I hope Jane's advice helps and please ask more questions if you remain unsure.
Best wishes and stay safeOnline Community Co-ordinator

Welcome to the community @jwazza17! How are you doing today?
Do you feel as though your condition has worsened? Or do you think you weren't awarded enough in the first place? PIP is based on how your condition affects you, rather than a diagnosis, so entitlements can vary between people with the same diagnoses.

Hi, £92 a month must be standard mobility right?
You'll need to look at the daily living descriptors and see if you fit any of them due to anxiety. (Cooking, dressing, mixing with people etc).
If you believe you do meet them then you can send a change of circumstances to PIP but you'll need to gather evidence and go through another assessment. -

HI,Whether you're entitled to a higher award will totally depend on how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors. Stress and anxiety will not automatically mean you're entitled to Enhanced for both parts. Impossible to advise further on this without knowing exactly how your conditions affect you and that's not possible on an internet forum.Before reporting any changes you should get some expert advice from an agency near you.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
