Hi
Hope someone can offer advice. I have a visual impairment and seen my opthomologist recently, there’s been a slight change in my vision. However, I have a cataract and so visual acuity doesn’t accurately reflect the issues I have.
Even with the slight improvement in visual acuity, I still experience blurred vision, colour contrast issues, reduced depth perception, reduced night vision and can no longer read print at all- and use audiobooks.

I know if there’s a change in conditions you are to inform PIP. However, my argument is it won’t change the issues I experience or change my entitlement descriptors.
If anyone could advise - thanks

Actually, you need to inform PIP if there is a change in the way your condition affects you, not a change in your medical diagnosis .
So, if your day-to-day living problems haven't improved at all, then you you don't need to inform PIP.I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.1 -

Then as advised, there's nothing to report.
