Hello spinbobbin
When PIP is awarded, it is awarded based on what mobility and daily living needs a person has. This means that PIP will ONLY need to be informed when a persons mobility and care needs change. You have already mentioned that your husbands mobility will not change. If he will still need the same help for example with cooking, dressing, washing, therapy, using the toilet etc. then his needs have not changed.
PIP will only need to be told if you give less care to your husband, or his mobility changes. PIP will therefore only end if your husband no longer has mobility problems or is able to look after himself without difficulties or without any help from you.
I hope this helps
