DLA Change of circumstance was created by Steve
If you report a change of circumstance in your condition, do you have to follow it through? Or can you just leave and not fill in form.
Plus if you are on an indefinite award for DLA and you report a change of circumstance would you be invited to claim PIP.

Thanks

The problem with reporting a CofC is that even though you may decide that the change is actually not significant, the DWP may disagree with you and still require you to continue with the re-assessment, after all something will had to have changed for a claimant to be prompted to report it in the first place.

Whether the re-assessment will be for DLA or PIP will depend on whether you are in an active PIP area or not, if you are, then you will have no choice but to claim PIP, the fact that the current award is indefinite will not effect this.
