PIP is not means tested benefit, so you dont need to tell them about income coming in, you only have to tell them if ure health condition changes.

Depends what group you are in. Support group is not means tested, but if u get extra like care component, or in work related group then this is means tested. If means tested benefit then you have to let them know about all income. If in doubt give them a call.

Not what you're looking for?
