PIP review form with citizens advice

Hi Jensy

The CAB never do write a lot on the forms. They are under a lot of pressure to support as many people as possible, and unfortunately, they don't have time to learn much about you; hence, there is so little detail. If you are worried that there are things missing that you think should be on the form, then you should add them, even if you do it on separate pages and include them as an attachment with your name and national insurance number on. If you don't feel able to or you don't want to do that, then you just have to trust what they have done. Some people write reams for their forms and some people write very little. It's not the amount of pages that gets you the award - it's the relevance to show how you meet the PIP criteria.

Hi Jensy

There's no need to apologise for asking questions - that's what we're here for. If we don't know or can't answer, we will say so, but never be afraid to ask.

I'm afraid it's hit-and-miss how far back an assessor will look. Generally, they focus on the most recent form. They may look further back if they think some information is missing, but unfortunately it's not a given. Assessors are under time constraints as much as the great people at CAB who help. It's an imperfect system. I understand why you're worried, but at this stage there is nothing more you can do. Honestly, some of it just comes down to luck, and that's outside your control.
