Reporting new illness

Hi Julie

In case you are not aware your real name may be showing as your Forum ID, if this is the case then I recommend that you change it as soon as possible.

The first question I would ask you julie is when you say you are in receipt of PIP, what components do you receive?

You can add different illness, but if you already receive the enhanced for both why put yourself under more stress.

If you receive the enhanced for both components then there is no need to report a worsening condition as you already receive the enhanced component.

If you receive standard mobility then you will not be able to get the enhanced mobility component.

if you receive the standard Daily Living then you may be eligible to claim the enhanced component, when you say you have been diagnosed with cancer, is it terminal?

if it is then you will be able to claim the enhanced Daily Living component using a SR1 form, this form is used by your doctor/consultant.
