Having a trying time with pip claim!
I got my original pip award at tribunal last year but this time was told to make a new claim not a renewal.
I see in the assessors report that pip have used 2 pieces of information from my first claim, one of the reports is 3 years old and contradicts a newer report. They appear to have used the old information as evidence, not the more up to date info.
As this is a NEW claim and I only gave permission for PIP to contact my current health practitioners, is their using old information from my previous claim acceptable?
Why are they telling me to make a new claim but using old information? Can they do that? Isn't that treating it as a renewal?
I'm confused
