Having gone through the new PIP AR1 review form, which I will have to complete in the next few weeks, I am concerned about Question 12a: "Tell us how far you can walk, taking into account any aids you use."
The questions asks how far you can walk. However, I thought the original questions on PIP, ESA and other claim forms asked how far you can walk without having to stop due to pain and or breathlessness. I have always made it clear that I can walk but with much difficulty up to 20m without having to stop and rest. I suffer breathlessness due to lung conditions and through joint and muscle pain.
My condition has worsened since my original assessment and my GP recommended I get reassessed to get the enhanced payments for Living and Mobility allowances. At the moment I get the standard allowances.
I have contacted the DWP informing them of my changes. However, I am now worried that I will get benefits removed after reading some of the testimonies. Can anyone help me out on this?
