Change of Circumstances for PIP 2 was created by SpaghettiSauce
Hi
I had my Change of Circumstances for PIP approved this week which was great. However, I had thought there would be a meeting and had intended to update again at that meeting as I have since improved further, but there was not. So I called today, to request a change again, but the lady just took notes this time and said it would be on my health file for next time, they don't seem to be issuing a new Change of Circumstances?
I notified the following:
Walking - now able to go up to 50 metres outside and return (prev only up to 20 meters outside 50 inside but not all the time)
Toileting - I have been using commodes most of the time but as my mobility has improved I now only need this roughly once a week
Food - Change from being able to microwave once a week (nothing else) to now 2 times a week, occasionally four times a week (as long as pre-prepared food)
Does this sound normal please as I only got the notification for the previous change this week? Surely this should be an update to my claim? I obviously don't want to lose my PIP but it just seems very strange.
I am currently applying for remote work so want to keep the PIP updated in case that happens at any point. Do I notify PIP if I get any work (I obviously have to for ESA)?
Thank you.

Hi SpaghettiSauce
I'm glad your change of circumstances came through. I'm not surprised they didn't do anything else. They are not accustomed to people reporting changes close together, so they will not want to review your case so quickly. You've reported the change, so it is up to them what they do with it. If you find work and your circumstances have changed, i.e., your conditions have improved, then you will need to inform PIP. If you start work and yet your conditions remain the same, then you may have nothing to tell them.
