soft touch review question was created by melady
I was awarded ongoing pip award high rate for both care and mobility in June 2016 so I am expecting to receive AR2 form soon. I now have terminal cancer and all chemo has failed.I am now on palliative care.. Would it be better to advise DWP now, to try to avoid the hassle of a review, or wait until the review form arrives{if I am still here.)

Hi melady

I am sorry to hear about your terminal cancer. What to do next depends on your energy. You already have the enhanced rate of care, so telling them wouldn't make any difference to your current award. Telling them won't necessarily stop them from sending you a review form. (This is the DWP we are talking about, and they frequently don't take on board what claimants tell them). So it's up to you. You could write to them now and send them the evidence, or leave it until you see what position you are in when the form arrives.

Best wishes
