Change of circumstances - do I inform PIP?

I'm in need of advice please. I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder few years ago and was in receipt of DLA. Then I become very ill with what my G.P thought was M.S. I was very relieved to find out I hadn't, however I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia... which has M.S symptoms without the neuro damage.. My Question is ( at last , I'm sure ) is do I inform the pip people as last time I did they lowered my money ? I really can't afford less ... thanks in advance to any that answer my long winded question ..

You certainly should inform DWP of a change of circumstance but be aware that this will trigger a new assessment.

Try taking the B&W self test to see the possible impact of your change of condition
