Do I need to notify PIP of changing condition? Will I be moved down from enhanced mobility?

Hello
I have enhanced mobility based on a paper based assessment.

I was awarded 12 points under 1f as I was blacking out and losing consciousness 3-4 times a week unexpectedly.

The past month this has improved and I only lose consciousness once a week or so. I still get dizzy and need support but I don’t black out completely more than around once or twice a week.

Should I be updating PIP? As I was awarded because I blacked out very frequently and now it’s not even half the week? Would this take me out enhanced and down to standard or even no mobility?

If you have no warning of when you will black out you would presumably not feel safe going out unaccompanied in case something happens given that the possible consequence of a blackout is severe.

Hello @hyrbid

Welcome to the community, I hope you are well.

I'd agree with advice mentioned above, it might only happen once a week but given that it's unexpected then the issue itself will almost always be having in impact on you, especially when considering going out. 

Is the blacking out and losing consciousness something your GP is aware of?

Hello @hyrbid - & welcome to the community from me also. Can only agree with what has already been said; you've only noticed a lessening of attacks for a month, so I would wait & see. Also seek guidance before reporting a change of circumstances.
