It is worth adjusting?

It took me forever to receive daily living standard pip. My health issues have worsened since with new diagnosed conditions. Is it worth letting pip know? Will I have to do whole new claim?

You're only obligated to inform them about improvements in health.
A worsening of health is entirely your decision, if you strongly feel you can provide enough information and are likely to get a higher rate it may be worth pursuing.
if you just want a quiet life perhaps not as yes you'll be sent another form. Also a consideration would be how long your current award is, if it's short term you may as well give it a shot, if longer term you could wait until the review naturally comes around or as above if you think you've got a strong case backed by supporting letters etc go for it.
ultimately the decision has to be entirely yours and whatever you decide, all the best to you.

Hi, yes I have doctor, hospital diagnosis from examinations and also new machinery I need to use for my breathing at night from nhs. All supported by doctor, physiotherapists and NHS hospitals.

A diagnosis will not automatically entitle you to more points for a higher award. Same for the new equipment you have. There's always some risk to reporting changes to your conditions.
