Will PIP stay the same with the new future changes?

in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi there. I have been on PIP since the end of last year because of a long term mental health condition. I have read a few articles on the benefits system changing and wondering how that will affect me, as someone on PIP? I don't currently work- however I do illustration commissions for little bits of extra income (not much). Basically I would like to know if I will be forced to find more lucrative, long term work, in order to retain my PIP payment? I am a little confused and also quite anxious because I have had numerous jobs in the past, only to have my mental health condition get in the way, and for me to lose those jobs in retail and tourism.

    Working has nothing to do with PIP so any changes that may happen will not affect PIP. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
