New medication pip

Em1

Hello, I have been in receipt of pip now for 5 months standard rate. On my initial report I had told them about anxiety but was not receiving any medication or therapy for this as I was on a waiting list for therapy. Therefore they did not award any points regarding my anxiety as they said there were no therapies in place. 

I have recently been given medication now as it has got worse and I have finally got an appointment for therapy. My question is do I need to tell pip about this  as I told them about anxiety in my initial report or do I leave it. If I do, do you think it will have a positive impact on my award. I’m unsure on what I need to do regarding this new information. 

Thank you for your time ☺️

No. A change of medication or starting medication for the first time is not a change of circumstances that needs to be reported.

Ok thank you for clarifying.
