@delise1,
Hello, as a benefit claiments we are duty bound to inform the DWP if our condition changes for the better or worsens. This stated in the information sent with our award notification letter. So if your conditions have worsened the DWP will need to have you reassed to dertimin if your Pip needs to be increased. It's stressful and annoying but this has to be done so as to make sure you are getting the right amount of benefits.

Hello @delise1, I'm really sorry to hear how much you're struggling at the moment. MIND has some great resources about dealing with anxiety which might be of use to you in the short-term. 

In regards to your PIP: as @wilko says, you should inform the DWP if your condition has worsened, but it will also trigger re-assessment. However, in that event we will of course support you as best we can. We have plenty of information and we'll do our utmost to help prepare you for the assessment.
