Hi all 
I am in receipt of PIP, I live in Essex but want to move in with my partner who lives in Cambridge. Do i send the pip a letter with a change of address, will my claim be ok or will it end. I’m currently awaiting an award review.

    PIP is not means tested so won't be affected by moving in with a partner. Best way to change address is to ring them because they don't always action letters like this. 

    Are you or your partner claiming any other benefits? if so which ones?

    Thanks for replying Poppy no we aren’t in receipt of any other benefits. 
    I will give them a call after the bank holiday , i was going to send a letter special delivery as I hate talking over the phone so wasn’t aware they wouldn’t maybe accept it in writing

    Hi @eddy92, welcome to our community :) I can't answer much better than Poppy has! Good luck with your review and let us know if you have any other questions about PIP :)

    I'll also move this over to our PIP category incase you do have more questions.
