Hi
I was awarded pip back last June. It was for 2 years. But now I've had a letter through telling me I have to go for another assessment.
Has anyone else ever had this?
Nothing has changed. Not even my address! So I'm struggling to understand why they are putting me through this again so soon. I feel bullied and harassed to be honest. But of course if I refuse they will stop the award.
Is there a limit on how many times they can put you through this just for the same claim? I can't deal with all this stress and worry every few months

I'm afraid the DWP are re-assessing the majority of PIP fixed term awards a year in advance of the award ending, if you have a look through the forum you will see that many have/are going through this process.
There is nothing that you can do about this, the PIP legislation allows them to re-assess a claim at any time and for any reason.
You don't mention having received a new PIP2 form, have you received one?
