Will me just getting married affect my new pip claim?

Hi everyone.

im just asking for some advice. I recently applied for pip and got accepted right away. I’m super grateful. I’ve just got married too. Will it affect my claim once I tell them? 

I know that you can be married and have pip. And I’m also not sure what I have been awarded just yet because I’ve only just found out. But will this make them retract my claim or anything? Maybe I’m just overthinking it but I have a lot of anxiety regarding the whole situation. 

I had to leave my own wedding because of my pain too😢 it was a super small wedding with immediate family. I also don’t know how I change my circumstances with them.


I hope this makes sense? Many thanks!

    hi! Thank you so much both 😊

    im so sorry I didn’t realise I posted in the wrong category :)  thank you both for your help and for redirecting my post!

    when I said right away I meant in a sense that I didn’t have to appeal, it did take time to find out if I was awarded but I know people with the same illnesses that have unfortunately had to fight very hard to get pip. 

    Thank you again for your helpful insights!

    It's not a problem at all @shnnaxxx lots of people do it and we just help tidy things up so you can get the best support. :) 

    It's so great that you were awarded PIP on the first go. But I'm sorry your health affected your wedding day.   If you need to report a change of circumstances, you can just call the PIP enquiry line on Telephone: 0800 121 4433
