Result of my pip review. Pip 1043 was created by lester
I crossed over from DLA low care and high mobility to PIP enhanced for both elements 27/01/2015 for 3 years.
I received the AR1 a week before Xmas. I filled it out with no change to everything, got a letter of support from my GP and also sent a letter from myself explaining that I had not learnt to cope any better with the limitations caused by my condition (brain injury). I returned it on Friday 30th December and received the so called dreaded brown envelope on Friday 20th January, (3 weeks) keeping same award for a further 3 years.

My doctor states in his letter that " my condition is long standing and will not improve in the future" and yet I will have to go through it all again in the future.
I am 60 years old now and things are getting harder so I won't be filling in " no change" the next time.

Congratulations on the new award.

I'm afraid the DWP are ever hopeful of a claimants health improving even if they have a condition that is only ever going to deteriorate.
