Has your situation changed since your PIP award?
Awards are based on how things were when you were assessed. If your daily life has changed since then, what’s written on your claim may no longer describe you.
We’ll help you put the change into words — what’s different now, and how it affects the activities PIP looks at.
Then, and now
Your circumstances
How your condition affected you at the time
Your PIP award
Decided on that description of your daily life
Today
Months or years later
Something changed
And your claim hasn't caught up with it
What’s changed for you?
Tick anything that applies. It helps to be clear about what’s different before you describe your situation.
Nothing ticked yet — you can also just tell us in your own words.
Not sure whether your change matters?
Understanding what has changed is the first step. Describe your situation as it is now and we’ll turn it into wording built around the activities PIP looks at — the same way we do for a new claim.

- Reporting a change can lead to your whole award being looked at again, not just the part that changed.
- It’s worth being clear about what’s different before you make the call.
- Free independent advice is available from Citizens Advice and your local welfare rights service.
- If you’d rather talk it through first, speak to an adviser.
This service helps you describe your circumstances accurately. It does not report changes to the DWP on your behalf, and it cannot guarantee how a claim will be decided.
