PIP Claim and moving out

Hello, I may have to move out of my family home and move closer to where my university is due to rising transport costs, I am currently claiming pip which is on the higher elements due to me needing support and prompting from family, if I live alone for university will this trigger a reassessment with the DWP? And will my pip be stopped or severely reduced as this is a major concern now that they may be able to argue that I am "independent" by being in the uni halls... Any advice is appreciated, thanks a lot

Hello @peachtea1 As Biblioklept said, PIP is about the help you need. I wanted to check in and see if you were able to find somewhere closer to uni?0
