Hi Daisy

You need to inform of the DWP of the change of circumstances, does your partner have a CPN or psychiatrist or both, if they do then ask them for a supporting letter. I find that CPN's and psychiatrists do very good supporting letters.

where you ask about 'when' something changed that is quite hard to answer, it would have been before your partner was sectioned, as it is a renewal then their condition has been ongoing and deteriorated and now been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sectioned for ....... under the Mental Health Act, it usually is under section 2.
