Do i need to notify PIP if I move areas and change my GP surgery?

I'm in receipt of PIP for mental health, and whilst doing a spot of browsing the Internet, I happened across some online advice stating about keeping PIP informed of any changes to your personal information, including if you change your doctor.
I recently changed GP surgery due to changing area. Nothing has changed in terms of my mental health and I'm unclear if I need to notify them of changing GPs, and if it will affect my claim if I do need to.
Can anyone advise?

If you moved house then you just need to ring them for a change of address. Same applies to all the benefits you maybe claiming.

PIP etc have my current address, but I've only just changed surgery. So I don't need to notify them? Phew!poppy12345 said:If you moved house then you just need to ring them for a change of address. Same applies to all the benefits you maybe claiming.0 -
