Change of circumstances?

Hi I have question and posted last week in relation to a new claim and face to face assessment. 

I had a f2f last week and my report was done quickly- I had a call from my consultant regarding a official diagnosis which I did not have last week will I have to call them and notify them of this? They are aware I was going through assessments only and no diagnosis. Any advice appreciated

No because PIP isn't about a diagnosis. You need to be careful about ringing them regarding these sort of changes because they could take it "literally" and send more forms out.

Presumably your consultant will be writing you a letter. Once you have that you can send it to PIP as additional information. Do not refer to it as a change of circumstances. If the PIP decision arrives before the medical letter and you need to challenge the PIP decision you can introduce it as part of an MR.
