Hi,
If I ask for a review and report my condition has gotten worse.. do they stop your payments until they can reassess you?
Thanks!

Have you had a look at the descriptors to see where you could score those extra points for a higher award? A worsening of condition doesn't mean you'll score more points.
Reporting a change of circumstances means they'll send you more forms and another face to face assessment will most likely be needed.
When is your existing award due for renewal?0 -

Yes, I know. I'm all prepared.
Was initially waiting for the review.. have been holding out for a while but I'm sick of waiting tbh. I'm sure my award end is March 2020.0 -

It does, thank you.
I've obviously read all the pip scare stories but I've only ever had positive experiences with it! Have always got what I wanted on first assessment.0 -

Say I do report the changes and it comes back still standard for both.. I go to MR and then appeals.. do they still pay then or would it stop?
