Hi my name is stampy123. How do I tell PIP about my recently diagnosed learning disabilities?

Hi Stampy

If you are already claiming PIP then you need to contact the DWP and inform them of a change of circumstances

The link here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/change-of-circumstances explains what you need to do.

Please be aware though that PIP isn't scored on your diagnosis but rather on how your disabilities affect your daily living and mobility so therefore a new health issue may not necessarily score you more points.

Another thing to note is that a change of circumstances could very well trigger a new review on your claim so it is best to consider whether this new diagnosis is in fact affecting your daily living and mobility before notifying them of a change in circumstances

Hope that helps
