Telephone Hearing Tribunal Tomorrow was created by Tina
A new health condition has developed in the time I have been waiting for my PIP Tribunal. Will I need to inform that my GP is sending me for tests. Or will I wait until the Judge asks me if I have any other new conditions. Just unsure what to do about this.

Hi TC
Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
When you go to a Tribunal, they are only interested in how you were at the date of the assessment, the tribunal will ask you if your condition has worsen now, got better or no change since you had an assessment. They will not be interested in your new condition, unless your condition is ongoing, i.e you had it at the time of the assessment but it had not been formally diagnosed but now has been diagonosed.

Thank you for letting me know about my full name being shown on my profile. I have changed it. I got a phone call this morning before the Telephone Tribunal at 2pm today to ask me if I would accept Standard Daily Living and Standard Mobility award which will continue for 3 years and will be backdated to November 2018. To say I'm relieved would be an understatement. I am wondering if this will affect my housing benefit and will I have to inform the council as I have been in Housing Association property for 20 years (in the same house). I am clueless about how this award will affect other things in my life.

Congratulations on the award. Well done for getting the original Decision revised.
PIP Daily Living can increase the applicable amount for Housing Benefit, so if your HB currently has a deduction then this may be removed now, you will need to be living alone and no one must receive Carers Allowance against you PIP DL. If your HB is not reduced then you will not receive more HB as a result of your PIP award.
PIP Daily Living can also reduce your Council Tax.
Your Local Authority should have already been informed of the award but it can't hurt to confirm this.
