PIP (U.K.) Benefit - New diagnosis

I got PIP, but I am unsure what will happen when they review it in April 2021 (Or sooner)

Now I have Schizophrenia and ASD diagnosed, will it make it easier to get?

It was so hard to sort out, I failed it twice before they took me seriously

If you’ve added to your diagnosis it stands to reason that it should be easier to qualify for assistance.

PIP is assessed on how diagnosis affects your day to day life rather than diagnosis itself.

I get a support package from social services. I’ve never had any trouble getting benefits, this going back to when I was 17. I have never been to a DLA/PIP assessment as was awarded on paper based alone. If you have a support worker and under social services its much easier to claim as thats proof you need support.
