Hello, this is my first time on here though i have been reading some queries and it seems like a friendly group.
I am wondering what changes we are supposed to inform DWP?
I am in the support group, i have recently been discharged from Community mental health to my GP, though have a telephone assessment next month with Psychologist, i was referred by mental health dr.

Hi and welcome
You dont really need to report that its if you have a worsening or improvement in your condition that would affect the reason you are in the support group

I am on the same medications that i was prescribed by pysch dr. I just thought that with being dx its a change in circumstance. And should be mentioned.

And should be mentioned.Hi and welcome,You are already in the Support Group and there's no higher group than this. A diagnosis, will make no difference at all what so ever to your claim or your award. Yes, changes do need to be reported but only within reason and this isn't a change that needs reporting.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.

Thank you Poppy. I wish i could feel assured. x

Is there any reason why you don't feel assured by my advice? A diagnosis, doesn't change the group you're in. The only thing that would change is if your condition has improved, which could mean that you may no longer fit the Support Group criteria. If it hasn't improved then there's no changes to report.
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. -
