pip advice

Hi I have received DLA Indefinite for some years at highest Mobility and Standard . I was re examined at a PIP in October and received same awards with 9 points regarding Living Allowance, but they only gave me 18 months award I was frightened to ask for a re consideration because I was told that it was unlikely the award amount of time would be altered. However they are offering a light touch if you have the highest awards on both, and I am so frightened about another medical this would stop going for an exam I wish your advice on this as since I had my pip examination I have developed Tendinitis and find it hard to hold items as I can drop anything at anytime also I am due aTKReplacement in April and then a further one sometime in the future, My arthritis in my neck has since worsened too.We never have received Attendance Allowance and want to ask you, for your expert help
Many thanks

Hi guys, I have a health assessment coming up at home for pip. I had an esa assessment 3 weeks ago and now I'm being asked to do another one so quickly. I got copies of my previous health assessments and noticed there was a lot of discrepancies in what I said to what was actually reported. Is there a section in this site that gives you pointers as my friend who was with me a few weeks ago said that I was offering too much information which went against me previously. I called to ask why so soon and was told that they are 2 very different benefits so need 2 different assessments. I have chronic conditions such as inflammatory osteoarthritis, had a bad stroke 3 years ago which has left me with lack of power on my left side. Peripheral neuropathy on feet which causes unbalance and pain etc etc.. I felt like a scrounger at my last medical and the questions trying to trip you up constantly. It would be good to get some advice on how to act and what not to say etc.
Thanks guys
Steve
