Hi there
If you report a change it will trigger a new assessment
You should only report if the changes significantly affect your daily living and mobility and you would get a higher award
I would recommend getting advice from welfare rights first -
I have been diagnosed with arthritis on my left foot and i have further problems etc.

Hi again
Pip isn't about a diagnosis but about how that condition affects your daily living against the descriptors
I am only giving you my opinion it is your decision if you think it warrants a reassessment but with any review you put your current award at risk
I would also consider how long your current award has left if it is near renewal it may not be worth reporting -

@james19o6 i didnt know how it all worked so wrote to PIP in Jan 2021 sayin i had got worse n more probs day to day livin n when im out, they rang me did a change of circumstance 3 weeks ago, rang today, its stil not put on system, said its royal mail with snail pace, sayin they will look at whole award when im ok with daily livin its more mobility, prob have to have another assessment n mite lose it all so make sure it severely affects your life or you could lose it all, on a plus could get more or stay same, hopefully u heard by now though, ??
