Exactly! We are guessing as to the needs that are potentially changed due to the nature of illness and why the sudden increase of medication and therapy within a month since submitting the application however, in my experience, people claiming PIP/DLA do have difficulty in remembering to take prescribed medication so if theres an increase, then this may be given in an extra doseage therefore more help required to take/remembering to take through help of another person and also, not sure whether theres a disability in which case then care needs are higher than before.

Changes to daily living or mobility needs, for example more or less help or support is needed or the condition will last for a longer or shorter time then the claimant has previously told the DWP about needs to be updated as it may affect entitlement to PIP amount and period of award.

In not guessing I am reading OP and replying factually as per my first post. Only report if needs have changed as change in medication is not reportable.

You seem to read the situation differently, I am factual and say it depends on condition change.

If every person rang about script changes then the delays would be huge. I've had 25 changes this month or so, I still have rad therapy, nothing changed just meds.

Again you assumed OP's condition changed. I without a crystal ball prefer to state if changed report.

Sorry did I not say change of condition? I believe I did on my second post. I'll let you give the advice seeing as you are a know it all who takes great offence in any other persons help.

You need to phone the PIP number that is included in the first tear off slip of the application (which youre meant to keep safely) and let them know asap. Its best to inform of any changes however small as there is much stricter criteria for PIP.

You know best with your medical training though. What training do you have?

Any change of circumstances matter! Whether your condition is getting better or worse, each way, it has an impact on your needs both in care and mobility. Could mean the difference between Standard of Enhanced PIP! Not telling them could lead to suspicion when you go for assessment as they obviously use your application and it clearly states ANY change in condition should be updated no matter which stagfe your application is at. Exact same with Attendance Allowance and was exact same with DLA. I complete these forms everyday in my work.

I'll think you will find I did. Also, I am not here to argue with someone and I certainly do not need to give you a run down of my cv, thanks for your interest however.

Sparkletoes35 - u r correct. Due to medication change and treatment change this could result in change to management of condition and if Leanne is already requiring help then this change could have a huge impact on the required up-to-date information required to make a correct judgement in the amount of points scored to meet the criteria of the PIP claim. All changes should be recorded to stop it coming back to bite u i.e another decision maker re-looking at the claim and going against the first decision. U stand less chance of a possible reconsideration being straight forward should u disagree witht he award as u didnt make them aware of the management of condition either be that medication or treatment.

i started working for a company on 1st September 2012, it was self employed for a month and then on 1st Oct 2012 I was given a salary package where the employer pays my tax and national insurance. Do I need to declare I was self employed for the month of September? If so How do I declare this information and how do I tell the tax office how much I earned in September 2012?
