OCD PIP award - short term again?

What I'm trying to avoid is the stress of repeating the process.  Last time when I posted she had 2 year award I was told I was wrong to accept it on this forum.  OCD is life long, it can't be cured but you have to find coping mechanisms.  They are thinking the increase in her medication and side effects opposite effect so hoping the change will get her back to how she was before.  Not good but at least she would let people in her house and leave it. 

Thought it easier to add to this thread.  It's been suggested to me that I do a change of circumstances for my daughter as things have changed.   Her OCD has been so debilitating that her psychiatrist has changed her medication twice and has recently added an antipsychotic to try to help.  Her previous change in meds January this year has helped her engage with a private OCD coach - video sessions and since about May has  been leaving the house with only her husband after work or at weekends.  Generally just for a drive but built up to going for food but can't be local - she cannot return to a place shes previously visited as she feels she's contaminated.  Still no one allowed in her house and all her medical appointments are via phone but she will have to attend a medical for ecg now she's started these new meds.  Her husband has exhausted his annual leave so she's agreed I can take her (not sure this will happen as panic attacks still frequent).  She has tried a day out with us - we all went by train over an hour away to outdoor concert.  We booked 1st class but she had to leave early and couldn't return by train so they booked an Uber .  She's struggling holding down her job, she works from home, but her employer been good.  Her psychiatrist had told her to reduce her hours drastically but she's trying not to.  CMHT worker had a chat with me about applying for PIP but as per per above until Nov 2024 she's on enhanced care and std. mobility.  They said she should be entitled to enhanced mobility.   I'm loathed to do a COC in case she loses the lot as this money been essential to pay for therapy, extra high utility  bills - still very long, multiple showers each day, excessive hand washing, laundry etc. plus taxis as she struggles to really struggles using public transport.  She's has a few attempts on train, none on bus.  She will only travel with her husband.  

Her support system is her husband and myself.   She is now under care of psychiatrist again even though a bit of a gap as original retired and not reallocated so GP referred again,  Then new one went on extended maternity and replacement had zero understanding of OCD so we requested a change.  She's only had 1 appointment with new one so far but she showed more understanding of condition.  I try to support her husband on a practical level by doing things like shopping, cooking a meal now & then organising prescriptions- used to be easier before pharmacy stopped doing repeats.  Main support to her though is being on the end of the phone daily though my husband is really good at this too. My hubby disabled too so I'm his carer.  I make time for myself doing adult education craft classes.  The new company the best part of it as we all have our issues be it tired carers, mentally drained, or anxiety sufferers.  I find it hard to burden my family & friends but my new buddies it's like we need & understand each other and what got us yogrthrt.  Even through summer we've been meeting for lunch, theatre etc.  

I'm quite good at fighting others corners as I worked public sector for 40 years before retirement.  I just found claiming PIP a very stressful process as while I understand they need to ensure claims are genuine its quite a brutal process as you have to focus on the negatives where in real life we try to focus on positives.
