    It means that they are re-assessing you and have requested more information from your GP to support your claim. You could speak to your GP and see if they have received or responded to the request.

    Hey @sweetestflame11 and welcome to the community.

    As Emilee has said, it'[s nothing to panic about, it just sounds like you reporting the change in condition has triggered the DWP reassessing your claim. It's nothing too sinister. 😊
