Reporting Changes to PIP

skye_ · 2017-10-15 12:36:15

Hi, I was diagnosed with ME in 2013 but they're now saying I was misdiagnosed and saying it's something else. Would I have to inform PIP of this even though the symptoms are similar? Also I'm on a few new medications.. but day to day it affects me the same. Do you they need to know about medication changes? Thanks.

PIP isn't awarded for a diagnosis, it is awarded for care mobility needs.

as long as these needs are still the same, you don't have a notafiable change of condition

As nannytone says -

Absolutely no mention of diagnosis.

If you still have the same needs, it doesn't matter which named disease is causing them.
