What is a reasonable amount of time to wait before reporting a change in a health condition to PIP? For example would you want a few weeks or a couple of months because the condition is variable and might change. Would it be wise to wait and see if there is lasting change in case you go back to being ill again. If you report a change you have to put a date. You might continually be reporting changes of improvement or deterioration

Hi Daff

If there has been a substantial improvement in a claimant's condition which means they might not be entitled to the same level of award or any award at all, the DWP wants to know about it as soon as possible. The system doesn't allow for claimants to wait and see if the improvement is sustained for several weeks or months while still claiming the benefit. So that means it falls on the claimant to decide when they will report a change of circumstances. This will trigger a reassessment unless someone says they no longer require any benefit at all.
