Discharged from hospital but it is time to renew P was created by csutton1
Hi All I was awarded standared rate care and mobility in 2014 and it is up for review in 2019
but I have been discharged from the hospital.
I was waiting for an operation but when they scanned my spine again there was to much damage and the window to do anything had shut. and I was discharged.
with insructions to go back when the problem with my neck affects my arm and hands. which it does but not enought for any treatment given the meds I am already on.
I now have new problems on top of the old, essential tremour in my left hand and arm causing violent shaking when holding something. and I have needed injections into differant joints to relive pain. has anyone got any advice. as I dont like to go to the DR there is not a lot documented now I have been discharged. I also have bouts of depression and went for some counselling about 5 years ago do I need to tell them about it after such a long time. Any help would be much appriciated. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
Your being discharged from the hospital Consultant is not a Change of Circumstances.
Your new symptoms may be but as they appear to be a deterioration in your conditions, the DWP will be a lot less interested in you reporting the Change then if they had improved. If you think that you would reasonably meet the criteria to score the extra points for an Enhanced award of Daily Living or Mobility, then you should consider notifying the DWP.
Understand that reporting a Change will result in a full reassessment of your claim, new PIP2 and almost certainly a face to face assessment, the resulting new Decision will supersede your existing award.

Thank you Gorden. I was just concerned because I don't have any new medical info on my previous claim as I just tend to get on with it.
Why do they send the review forms a year early? If they decide to decline can they stop the last year's payments? I am very worried about it being stopped early and having to appeal again.
Once again thank you for your help.

Why do they send the Review form a year early? I'm afraid all I can answer is that it is because they can, obviously renewals on a fixed term award have to start and conclude before the award ends to avoid a period without payment, but I have no idea why the DWP think this needs to take a year.
The reassessment results in a new Decision which will supersede any previous one, so it is possible for you to lose the remaining part of your current award if an adverse Decision is made.

Once again thank you. I know they will claw back any half they can. In the past they stopped my DLA so I applied for PIP but no back pay was given. Thank you for all the help you give on this site. I am always telling people about it.
