Hi Art69, I did not know you have to renew PIP I just got mine. Ask your GP for a letter that is what I did. I have no cures, but I am still ill. You can still send in old letters that is ok from specialists, tell them all your symptoms on your worst days not just good days.

Best wishes

Suzie

Hi Art, my award letter states they will contact me again after 2 years to check whether my needs have changed and I am getting the correct amount. I agree with suzie, complete the form but consider your 'worst' days and not how you are at time of completion. My HA has an advisor I can ask to help with filling the form out and suggest you get help as well. But beware, some 'experts' may expect a fee to help, win or lose, so I suggest maybe Citizens Advice or AgeUK...

Hope this helps.

GOOD LUCK :)
