Making sure that you inform the appropriate authorities or Government departments about changes to your circumstances is essential for those claiming a range of benefits. However, according to one report, there are six changes that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants don't need to inform the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about.
PIP is a Government-provided benefit for people over 16 and under state pension age. It is designed to help recipients who need additional help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental or physical health condition.
The benefit is replacing Disability Living Allowance for adults in England and Wales. While in Scotland, the benefit is being replaced by Adult Disability Payment which follows the same eligibility guidelines as PIP.
