Hi, I’ve requested a reassessment for PIP via report a change in circumstances option. I already receive daily living standard rate due to a long standing disability. Whilst I await the assessment form I was wordering whether anyone had been awarded high rate csre and/or mobility using DS1500 form and not having 6 months or less to live prognosis? I’m on palliative chemo with a prognosis of 0-5% chance of living 1-5 years. Older posts I’ve searched for are mainly some years old. Thanks
Hi if the doctor had completed the DS1500 form there is nothing else that needs to be completed - I.e. no assessment form. Just send the form off ASAP. McMillan adviser told me that it is very rare that high rate components are not awarded after a medical professional has completed the form. Good luck! Jayne
