Hi Denstew15

You are already on enhanced rate of PIP for both components. As you cannot increase your award, there's no particular reason for making the DWP aware of it now. You can always inform them at the next review. However, the decision is yours to make. (You don't want them to think you are reporting a change of circumstances and trigger a review).

Hi Denstew15

As BIS has already stated if you are already on the enhanced PIP for both components, and your condition deteriorates then there is no point in reporting it until you are next re-assessed, you will only inflict stress on yourself for no reason, just prepare yourself for your next review, where you can report all the changes in your condition.

If your condition improves then you must inform DWP straight away.
