Any implications when notifying PIP of address change?

Hello, my adult son is almost 3 years post TBI. He still has cognitive, psychological, sendory and physical problems and is unable to return to work. He has been living with me and his dad as he needed our support but, understandably, he wants to try to live independently and feels like he will try to do more for himself I his own place. I agree it will do him good but have some reservations. We will still be providing support as his flat is a 3 minute drive away. His neuropsychologist and social worker are liaising to arrange further help from a support worker and neurorehab OT. I was wondering if any if you have experience of notifying PIP of change of address as I'm concerned that if he is moving home they will assume that he no longer needs PIP or they might want us to complete another assessment form? Sorry for the long post but thought background info would help! Thank you 😊

Don't think it will change anything, just inform them that there is a change of address.

Thank you, do you think I need to give explanation about him still needing support or just keep it simple and give new address?
