Switching bank account and PIP

Hello, hoping someone can help me. I currently receive PIP. I have been considering changing my current account that it is paid into for the switching bonus. Does anyone know the following, Google seems to be a bit mixed with the answers
A) does change of bank account trigger the assessment being looked at again. Doesn't seem like it should but saw a couple of people on a forum saying it did.
would the switching service automatically switch my PIP?
C) if not how do we switch. Some Google posts say by phone but don't really want to spend 2 hours on hold if that's not the case.
Any help anyone can provide would be totally appreciated. Thank you

I've switched a few times on PIP and everything went fine, just did the switching service (online) and everything (including all benefits) transfer correctly.
I think I might have a call from the benefits department wanting to confirm the change. I did get DWP letter in the post about the new bank but the letter was about ESA payment. Didn't have a letter just for PIP
I can't see how changing banks would cause a reassessment.

No it will not. There would be no reason for it to start any review.

Thank you. Seemed strange to be that it should generate any assessment but amongst the truth a lot of rubbish is posted onlineHillStreetBlues said:I've switched a few times on PIP and everything went fine, just did the switching service (online) and everything (including all benefits) transfer correctly.
