pip change in condition

Hi there,
I was recently awarded standard daily living for pip. My condition changed so Itelephoned dwp to inform them of this, I was then sent the How ur disability affects u form, this was filled out and posted.
I then received a letter from atos saying that my case had been referred to them, I then received another letter saying that another face to face assessment was not required and that my case had been referred back to dwp.
Is this a positive thing and is it unlikely that I'll lose what I was already awarded?
Many thanks

Hi rbj,

I am afraid that not needing a face to face with PIP does not really give an indication of what recommendations ATOS have made and returned to The DWP.

My best advice would be to ring the PIP Helpline for an update :

Telephone: 0345 850 3322

Textphone: 0345 601 6677

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

Thank u for response
So technically I could lose what I was originally awarded even tho my condition has got worse?
My award for pip is quite recent so wouldn't it look quite contradicting to have it taken away. I just assumed that the reason I wasn't asked to do another face to face assessment was because my last one was quite recent.
Many thanks

Hi rbj,

I am afraid that this has already happened to some of our members on PIP review!

I just looked at topic but it's more in reference to end dates of awards .
I was awarded pip standard daily living in March. The middle of June I was diagnosed with another illness, I reported this to the dwp and they sent me the How does ur disability affect you form, filled in sent back. I then received the atos letter saying they have received my case, next letter from atos saying no f2f was required and that my claim is with dwp awaiting decision.
From doing all this I could lose what I was already awarded?

Hi rbj,

Yes, that is possible !!

You are missing the main point from the other linked topic :

"It is covered under Regulation 11 of the PIP Regulations 2013

Re-determination of ability to carry out activities

11. Where it has been determined that C has limited ability or severely limited ability to carry out either or both daily living activities or mobility activities, the Secretary of State may, for any reason and at any time, determine afresh in accordance with regulation 4 whether C continues to have such limited ability or severely limited ability.

www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/377/regulation/11/made

As you have reported a Change of Circumstances with regards to a deterioration in your conditions, this will trigger a fresh review of your current PIP Award.

Which in turn will result in a fresh Superceding Decision/Re-Determination.

I am not saying it is probable/likely that you will receive an adverse decision, but it is a possibility, however remote that possibility may be.

We have also heard from members where they have been in receipt of an Enhanced Rate PIP Mobility Award, and requested a Mandatory Reconsideration of their PIP Daily Living, only to lose The Enhanced Rate PIP Mobility Award.
