Change of circumstances was created by cass1
Hi Everyone
i just received my Pip review through
my score has changed since i first got it awarded 2019
but it still qualify for the enhanced part
ive just realised that i have never contacted the DWP
i was given some advice 4 years ago when claiming
that as long as your points hasn't altered the final points tally up
that it was okay,
but im a bit worried that the advice wasn't right
can anyone advise me
regards

Hi cass1
I am not sure what you are asking, from your post I believe you have had a review and stayed in the same groups, I am not sure where change of circumstances come in.
Claimants usually report a change in circumstances when their condition has deteriorated but quite often wait until they have a review unless their condition has improved in which case they need to report it as soon as possible.

Hi Gary

Hi Cass1
If a claimant's condition improves, which may impact their current award, they are supposed to inform the DWP immediately so that they can send out a review form. Only you know where you were previously awarded points, what improvements have been in your condition, and whether these are significant. If they are not, you have nothing to worry about.
