Hi,Before reporting a change of circumstances you need to look at the PIP descriptors to see where you could potentially score more points for a higher award. A worsening of condition doesn't mean you'll automatically score more points.There's always a risk reporting changes because they will send you more PIP forms to fill in and return with all your evidence. Another face to face assessment will most likely be needed because most people have them. You do risk losing everything you already have but of course you could be awarded higher or your award could also stay the same.This link will help you understand the descriptors more before deciding what do to. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteria
