    If your condition has changed as so that it has altered your abilities to preform the daily living tasks or your mobility has got worst then you may feel you should inform DWP but be warned you may and most likely have to fill in a new PIP form and go for a f2f again. I did as my mobility had got worst over 12mths since last f2f. I was awarded the same standard living and moved up to enhanced mobility. Which is what I expected the award to be. Good luck.
