    No, you don't need to ring them because you're already in the process of a PIP review. As you already told them about your worsening of condition in the form you filled in there's nothing further to tell them. You have to be very careful when ringing to report changes because new forms could be sent out to you.
    PIP isn't about not being able to work, so quiting work is not a change of circumstances that needs reporting.

    Hi and thanks for your response. Yes I was thinking calling them wasn't necessarily a good idea. I've quit work as I'm unable to work, not in the hope it will assist my claim.
    Kind regards,

    Dave

    I wasn't going to report I'd finished work, I was going to report a worsening of my condition @poppy123456

    Yes, i realised you were going to call them to report a worsening of condition. As you've already told them on your review forms you don't need to ring them.
    Most people have assessments for reviews so once an appointment becomes available they will contact you. Backlogs for PIP assessments are huge too so there maybe quite a wait for this. In the meantime, try to relax and forget about it, although i do realise that's not an easy thing to do.
