Thank you Gordon!

I am on the Wirral, Merseyside. I'm not sure who covers this area?

In your experience how does the PIP review under this form work? I have had it awarded in 2017 without a meeting (the one and only meeting was the previous time 2015 I think). last time I just used your guide and completed it as best I could and received a reply around 5 weeks later that I had been awarded exactly the same. This time my symptoms are slightly worse but I am generally the same.I tried to use your guide as thoroughly as possible.

The whole process is horrible, i know it's necessary but i feel sick just writing about it now.

Best wishes, Lesley

If you have said your conditions have deteriorated on the form then the chances of a face to face assessment are increased but it is not a given that you will have one, it will depend on the level of detail in and with the form and if they are able to get any missing information from your medical contacts.

Ok, thank you Gordon.

It's not a massive change. I have chronic severe refractory migraines. And have had the condition for many years. I now have the addition of Ocular migraines where I have some temporary vision loss, and disorientation and instability. Both my GP and consultant are aware.
