Income Support review

I got a letter through today ask me to fill in a booklet in relation to a review of my Income Support.

Is this normal practice after a set period of time?

For details of being sick I just stated '' mental illness'' . Should I go in to greater detail?

Thanks.

  • I got one of these recently and suspected it was due to my occupational pension rising by a whole £5 per month (Which I'd notified them about), but I was told it was normal after a certain period of time.

    I didn'd go into great detail as to the nature of my illnesses, I figured that Top Rate Care and Bottom Rate Mobility of my DLA would explain that enough.

    I've just received my "review" letter - 50p change to my weekly benefit.
