Do I have to tell the DWP about two new diagnoses? Would they stop my PIP and reassess me?

PIP is not awarded on the basis of a diagnosis, it is awarded based on the degree of difficulty you experience as a result of your health conditions. You do not need to tell them just because of a new diagnosis. Even if you health has deteriorated it is only worth telling them if you think the changes would result in an increased point score sufficient to change the level of award.
If you do tell them it is likely to prompt a reassessment.1 -
so are you saying that because i have now found out about the b12 deficiciency etc and that it is linked to the reasons i was awarded pip and my condition has worsened it does not need to be classed as a change of circumstances.
