Hello I’m on the lower standard of pip but recently my health has sadly gone down hill. is if possible to ring pip and try to change the pip award? As I now cannot walk wouldn’t I be able to get some help with mobility if I get in touch and report a change of circumstance?

    Hello @tomiehopkin and thanks for reaching out, you can find out more about a change of circumstances here, but there's no guarantee you'll get a higher award if your claim is reviewed.

    If there's anything more specific you'd like to know, please ask :)

    If you report changes then you'll be sent more forms to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence. Another assessment is most likely because most people have them.

    Once a decision is made your award could remain the same, be increase, decreased or even stop completely. A worsening of condition doesn't automatically entite you to more points for a higher award.
