No, you do not need to report the changes if diagnosed with ADHD. For UC you already have the highest award, which is LCWRA. For PIP it's not about a diagnosis.

Hey @ella1992 I'm glad the second assessment happened so quickly!
I know many people who take medication for their ADHD, but it will vary from person to person and which meds you're given as to how well they work. But it's certainly worth a go.

Hi,
I was diagnosed with having both parts of ADHD, It, like other things is a long trial and error process.
Everyone's neuro-diverse conditions affect different aspects more severely than others, and for this everyone is different. It may be good to keep a short diary of things you are noticing changes with, depending on what medication they start you off with it can be a bit of a whirlwind, so having something you can refer back to when having reviews can help.

I actually highly recommend this. Once I knew I had ADHD through diagnosis I actually spotted a lot more things I did, or ways I did things, that weren't 'typical'. It really helped
