Adp/pip

Joshbackland

hi just looking for some info here. I recently was moved from pip to adp. I sent away a no change review today for adp. But i realised 1 medication i was on changed to another, it was a different anti depressant but was years ago when on pip. As when i applied for pip i was trying to find what one was best for me. Im just wondering now will this affect my review? And should i let adp know or will this trigger afull new claim or something. My needs didnt get any worse or better with the change of medication.

Hi @Joshbackland and a warm welcome to the community

No, the past change in medication shouldn't affect your ADP review if your needs stayed the same so it shouldn't trigger a new claim☺️

when i was on pip i was on sertraline. But after few months moved to venlavaxine. I didnt tell pip i had changed medication and didnt think i needed to as both antidepressants. But now that im on adp and just sent a no change review will it cause a issue as it will say im still on sertraline from theyre info they have on me. But im on something different and have been for years. Thanks

Heya @Joshbackland no it shouldn't cause any issues as far as I'm aware, as you're still on antidepressants. Though if you're concerned about them having the wrong information, you can always call them to let them know about the change in medication.

Seen mixed stuff of people leaving it as it doesnt affect my daily needs or anything. Also dont know if it could trigger a change of circumstances and might make it worse for me if i was to tell them. Thanks

I would leave it. They do phone claimants that have declared "no change" so you could mention it then.

It's Scotland only, @luvpink . Scotland has replaced PIP with ADP.
