Change of circumstances for PIP

Change of circumstances for PIP was created by Finni
I submitted a PIP application and am waiting for an interview. Since I filled out the form my situation has changed.

I live at my sister's house and she started work meaning she is no longer able to supervise me during the day. There is no one else here.

Is it worth informing the DWP about this or will it make no difference? My carer believes PIP is awarded to cover my needs and this change would reflect a greater need but I can't find anything online about it.

Hi Finni

It will make no difference if your sister goes out to work during the day, PIP is based on your condition and how it affects you.

You may want to explain when you have an assessment how this has affected you, such as why you need supervision?
