Hi zepthedep01.  I dont think that you have to report the condition if it is not affecting your care or mobility in a different way to your pre existing condition.

You must contact the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) enquiry line straight away if:

• you need more or less help with daily living and mobility tasks
• your health professional tells you that your condition will last for a longer or shorter time than you reported before
• a medical professional has said you might have 12 months or less to live (you could get PIP at a higher rate under ‘special rules for end of life’)
• you go into a hospital, a hospice, a nursing home or a care home
• you go into a residential school or college
• you go into foster care or into the care of a local authority or health and social care trust
• you’re imprisoned or held in detention
• you plan to go abroad for more than 4 weeks
• your immigration status changes and you’re not a British or Irish citizen
• you start or stop getting pensions or benefits from an EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
• your husband, wife, civil partner or a parent you depend on starts or stops getting benefits from an EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein

These changes can affect your PIP award. Depending on the change, your PIP could go up, go down, stay the same or stop.

That is all that you have to report according to the gov.uk website.
