The latest data from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows there were nearly three million people across the UK claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP) - which replace Disability Living Allowance - at the end of April this year. PIP can help with extra living costs if you have an illness, disability or mental health condition.
But many claimants may be unaware of a list of changes in circumstances which must be reported to DWP, reports the Daily Record. One of the major ones for this time of year is telling DWP if you plan to go abroad - but there are others which may seem trivial but could cause issues if not reported.
