This is only my second post. I have decided after much thought that due to my condition changes for the worse I would request a review. I'm currently receive high mobility and lower care since 1991 DVLA, my changes have had a dramatic change to my life and that of my family. I must be mad but rather now rather than rushing to get it all done in one month at their request. My question is how do I get confirmation about how my conditions affects me daily from a clinician/ do I ask my doctor for a longer appointment and my consultant? I realise I will have to pay for the letter. do I also gain access to my notes for test results and x rays ? I've decided to request the application pack after I have got my evidence together. I've already started on the downloaded the diary sheets. It took me a year of hell to get put in the support group of ESA, once I went to appeal the panel saw me for 5 mins then put me in the support group. that comes up again this year. This time I want to get it as right as I can and hope for the best. Thanks Jan

The first thing to ascertain is whether you will be re-assessed for DLA or for PIP, see the following map of active PIP postcodes.

www.gov.uk/government/publications/pip-postcode-map-uk

Once you know what you will be re-assessed for you can see what the criteria are for an award by looking at the relevant Claim guides. For DLA

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/dla/#dlaclaims

and for PIP

then you can discuss the criteria with your GP to see what advice they can give.
