I have had my UC closed but I am in receipt of PiP .my health conditions has improved ababit and I intend gradually working from home cooking .Do I need to inform PIP as I got renewed until September 2029.

Would they take it away or re access my health conditions?

    Hi @lillyrose, welcome to the community. Lovely to hear that you've been improving a bit lately, that's good news ☺️

    Do you feel your condition has improved to a point where you'd no longer be eligible for PIP? It may be worth having a look at the scoring system again to see what you feel you might score if you were reassessed now: https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system

    If you feel you'd still be eligible but perhaps at a lower level than you're getting now, it is a good idea to tell them about that too. It's likely that they would want to reassess you unless you specifically asked them to close your claim. I know that can be daunting, but it's important to update them if your condition has changed a lot from when you were last assessed to make sure you're receiving the right support.

    Do you feel like the change will be permanent or long term?

    Edited just to add: If you'd like to close your claim voluntarily you can let them know and they should be able to do that without an assessment.
