You have a duty to report any change that will alter your ability to carry out the PIP descriptors not to report a new diagnosis or appointments
If you report a change you will be re assessed and you will get a new award but beware you might think you are entitled to more but you could end up getting less

Hi if you report a change in circumstances then you will continue to receive your benefits until such time as the DWP are able to make a decision on your circumstances, this could mean that they could raise your PIP or lower it, you even stand a chance of losing it.
Mark I don't understand your comment that you need to inform them of appointments?? This is not classed as a change of circumstances.
Also things like a change of address is not classified as a change as such so it all depends on the reason for the change

Changes that affect your PIP

You need to tell the DWP as soon as possible if your condition changes because this can affect your Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Examples of things that may change how your condition affects you include:

your condition gets better or worse
the level of help you need changes
you go into hospital or a care home for more than 28 days (if you’re under 18 on the day you go into hospital your PIP won’t be affected)

Examples of a change of circumstances you must report include:

you go abroad for more than 13 weeks
you change your name, address or bank account details for payment 
you go into or leave prison or legal custody

Taken from the CAB website
A change of address is to be notified!

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
