Change in circumstances

Hi there my 30 year old son is on dla low rate for both help at home and whilst out and about. He was given this indefinite award when he was 10 years old. The award was giving at home with help with cooking a meal etc. Just lately he has started to take an interest in cooking and has just started to cook a few basic things himself. My question is does this mean I should inform DWP? He has been working full time for the last 5 years but feels guilty that he is claiming. My other question is if we informed DWP would they look at the whole claim and if so would they ask him to apply for PIP instead?

If this is the result of an improvement in his conditions or limitations then you are obligated to inform the DWP of the change, doing so will result in an invitation for him to claim PIP.

I am concerned that you say he has been working for some time and receives Lower Rate Mobility, this is generally awarded for claimants who are unable to leave their home.
