I've recently gone on insulin, and had a further mental health diagnosis. When should I contact DWP?

Hi all,

I am just wondering what I should do, I have recently been put onto insulin for my diabetes, which happened after I had my PIP assessment and I have also had a further diagnosis for my Mental Health,

I had my phone assessment on the 3rd March, and I am awaiting a decision about my award. Should I wait until I have received my decision or should I contact the DWP first thing?

The whole process has been a nightmare and the constant worry and now these changes are just getting to me.

Thanks ?

Hi and welcome

As above I would wait and see what you are awarded

Being insulin dependant myself the medication you take would not really warrant a change in circumstances as it doesnt change your functionality

You pip assessment looks at how you are at that time any worsening of condition isnt applicable

You should only report a change if you think you would get a higher award and then only after getting expert advice
