Not every change in circumstances will affect your entitlement to PIP or see payments paused.
Personal Independence Payment can be claimed by people over 16 and under State Pension age who need additional help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental or physical health condition. The benefit has been replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment for new claimants and follows similar eligibility guidelines as PIP.
While many claimants may be aware of the list of changes in circumstances that must be reported to the Department for Work and Pensions in order for them to continue receiving uninterrupted payments, there are several changes that do not need to be declared.
Changes you must report to DWP However, guidance on the GOV.UK website states you must contact the PIP enquiry line if: So, if you have recently moved home or switched to a new doctor, don't put off reporting the change any longer - especially if you are on PIP living in Scotland as Social Security Scotland will use the information the DWP holds on you when you are transferred over the new devolved benefits system.
