hi it’s a long shot but was wondering if i could get some help. 

im currently 16 weeks pregnant and have applied for pip but when i applied i didn’t know i was pregnant so said no when they asked but now i am pregnant i didn’t know if this would affect my payment if i did tell them i was pregnant as my condition means i cannot work. 

tia :)

    Hi @shannbx - & welcome to the community. Being pregnant (congratulations) doesn't affect your PIP claim, & you don't need to inform the DWP, so don't worry. With PIP it doesn't matter whether you work, or not (unless any work you do contradicts anything with your claim). So it doesn't matter if you've stopped work.
