Re- applying for Pip

Hi,
I have been in receipt of Pip ( middle rate care& High mobility) due to poorly controlled epilepsy.
during the 3 years I have now been diagnosed with an under active thyroid which since being treated has started a heart arrhythmia.
now I’m having an ecg implant under my skin to track my heart rhythm for 2 yrs. as the cardiology thinks that it may be Afib.
it does affect me, quite often when I have palpations I feel weak & faint. My left arm aches and generally it also agrivates the epilepsy petit mal seizures.
My question is even if the Afib has not yet diagnosed, Will this be taken into consideration.
also has anybody else experienced this?

If you call PIP 0800 917 2222 and tell them about your changes. They will send you a change of circumstances form and probably ask you for a face to face.
Let us knows how you get on.

i have standard care & enhanced mobility.
im not going to inform them of the changes yet as my award finishes in 2021, so I suppose they will start the process this year anyhow
