Hi there
If you report a change it will trigger a new assessment
You should only report if the changes significantly affect your daily living and mobility and you would get a higher award
I would recommend getting advice from welfare rights first -
I have been diagnosed with arthritis on my left foot and i have further problems etc.

Hi again
Pip isn't about a diagnosis but about how that condition affects your daily living against the descriptors
I am only giving you my opinion it is your decision if you think it warrants a reassessment but with any review you put your current award at risk
I would also consider how long your current award has left if it is near renewal it may not be worth reporting -

Do not deviate anything until you have had advice. The info on PIP points scoring is everywhere so you should be able to look up the points you currently get and then look at whether any more might be available. Getting worse does not automatically equal more points.

Be extra nice to new members.
