Hello, after searching the internet and various relevant forums, i am unable to find a difinitive answer, therefore i am hoping someone here can help.
My partner who is autistic and has ADHD has recently received a PIP AR2 light-touch review form.
After hours of research, i was hoping to make his life easier without the result leading to him being very stressed.
The answers i have found online are very conflicting.
In questions 13, 14 and 15 on the PIP AR2 light-touch review form he is asked about any changes from when he was last awarded PIP with tick boxes for ‘No’ and 'Yes'.
There has been no changes so it seems correct to just tick no. However, from what i have read online, it has mostly been said to treat this as a new claim giving full details on how his condition affects him, yet i have found one site that says:
"If your needs have not changed then we don’t think it is necessary to give details of how yourcondition still affects you in the way that we suggest for the AR1 review form above. This is because the light touch review is based on the assumption that your needs will still be the same. It should be sufficient just to tick ‘No’. -benefitsandwork.co.uk
By just ticking ‘No’, this would help reduce my partner's stress, although i do not want to cause him more stress by telling him to tick ‘No’ and he then has his PIP stopped.
My question is which advice should i take as being correct?
