PIP renewal help

Options
Hi I'm due to expect my pip renewal form in a couple of months and not sure what I need to put in it. 
I have a long term/life long disability that never changes. If you have no changes do you just write the exact same as last time. Any tips would be great.

    Don't just tick no change , you need to still explain how your condition affects you and if it is worse put that also . I have learned from someone that if you just click no change it can go against you .

    Pretty much, yes, if what you wrote last time resulted in a satisfactory award.

    Same here...I didn't have time to fill forms in properly  due to an upcoming hospitalisation so I just put "no change since last assessment" and my partners got a paper based review with identical award. I only sent the review forms back 3 weeks ago.

    I still advise people not to do what I did since he was only given a paper based assessment because of a severe vulnerability marker on his file (assessors won't go near him due to his extreme behaviour and higher ups are now starting to demand face to face assessments instead of phonecalls).
