Hi and welcome,PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors. If your condition has stayed the same and it's just a diagnosis, you do not need to report those changes. If you report any changes then DWP will send you more forms to fill in, which will need to be returned with all your evidence. You'll most likely need another face to face assessment and you could lose everything you already have.For your other question about a carer then you'll need to refer yourself to your local council for a needs assessment and you can do that by starting here. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
