Hi I would like a little bit of advice from someone my mum has moved out she meant to be my carer and she's no longer providing care from me from the 18th of November my mum has been exaggerating my disability quite a bit for a long time now and I get Pip but I've been trying to cancel my Pip claim and my father who is not my carer live with me and he agrees with me but we don't know how to quite go about it on cancelling my Pip claim
Can I just simply say I would like my Pip cancelled

    Hi,
    You can't just cancel a PIP award, it doesn't work like that. You can ring to report changes to your conditions and you'll be sent more forms to fill in for another assessment.
    Before doing this are you 100% sure you fully understand the PIP descriptors and what they mean? Very few people do. The first thing you should do is get some expert advice from an agency near you and you can tell them exactly how your conditions affect you and they will tell you whether your PIP award is correct. Start here https://advicelocal.uk/

    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.

    Hello @daz22

    Welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us and I'm sure you'll enjoy taking part here.

    Sorry to hear of the situation you are in, it sounds really difficult and it mustn't be nice to know that one of your parents has been exaggerating your condition and has left despite being your carer. I hope that the above information has been helpful, it does seem as though some professional advice might be the best course of action for your situation. 

    Is your dad intending to become your carer?
