Hello to all Scope Forum members on this Easter Sunday.

Would anyone be able to provide a definitive answer regarding whether there is a requirement for one to notify PIP and UC following a change of GP?

I have read a number of forum discussions, and researched information on this subject via various sources, but have been unable to determine a decisive answer.

Kind regards.

    You don’t usually need to inform PIP or Universal Credit just for changing your GP. Only report it if it affects your condition, treatment, or how your health needs are assessed.
