PIP review

I think it would be more effective to explain why you have brain fog and how you are limited by it in regard to the PIP Descriptors. So might write fatigue or even chronic fatigue, if applicable, in the conditions section and then for the relevant Descriptors how that fatigue affects your ability to carry out the activities.

You can include the previous letters but try and make them relevant to now by explaining how your conditions have changed since they were produced.

If the tick boxes don't work for you then mark them "see below" and explain in the comments box or attached pages, just make sure that you actually answer the question

"Sometimes" means that some of the time you are limited and some of the time you are not, you need to explain the ways that you are affected, if you can show that cannot reliably perform an activity for the majority of days then you should be considered as being unable to do the activity.

"Yes" will depend on the context of the question but usually indicates that you are always affected.

You should have received a Decision Letter following the previous award, it probably doesn't matter now, although you should still be able to request it, but I would definitely make sure that you get one this time.

can i clarify what you mean about making the past letters relevant did you mean how my conditions have or have'nt changed? I think the letters are still current in that what is said on them is current also now as it was back then.

thanks

Yes you need to make it clear that your conditions are the same or worse since the letters were written.

I did think that the original call responder was putting unnecessary requirements in place.

I would make sure you note the date and time of the call and if you remember it the name of the person you spoke to but I would say it is OK, just make sure that the form is sent back before the end of the two weeks.
