DWP PIP claimants must report these changes or risk payments being stopped

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

People who claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are at risk of the financial support being stopped if they fail to contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in certain situations.

PIP claimants are being reminded that it is essential to notify the DWP of specific changes in their circumstances to prevent interruptions or even cessation of their benefits.

There are also some changes that do not require notification - including updating one's name, doctor, healthcare provider, or address.

The 2024/25 PIP Handbook published on the GOV.UK website explains: "This change may affect the claimant's entitlement to PIP. "We will need to know the date the claimant is leaving the country, how long they are planning to be out of the country, which country they are going to and why they are going abroad." To report changes in one's circumstances, contact the PIP enquiry line on 0800 121 4433, available from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
