If I go down the fresh claim route, what will happen to the PIP benefit that has already been awarded to me. Will I have to withdraw that claim?
I'm sorry, your original post read as if you had not received an award, my bad, I should have checked.
If you have a current award then you cannot make a new claim for PIP although you can report a Change of Circumstances. This will result in a full reassessment of your claim and the Decision will supersede your current award.
