    Hi,

    There is no need to inform PIP about your upcoming operation.

    Only if it changes your long term abilities (such as increased walking distance) do you need to tell them.

    HI @pusspuss. There's no need to let PIP know about a diagnosis. You only need to inform them if your ability to do daily tasks changes.
