Was on PIP, moved to ADP, back to PIP
Hi all, I was awarded higher living/mobility PIP in 2022 under a light touch review (10 years). As I was studying in Scotland, they moved my claim to ADP in 2024 where I was given the same award.

so most of you already know that a wave of pip extension letters to current pip awards due for review started being sent out this month (June 2026).

Pip review - completed or extended?
Hello. My review for Pip was due for review this December. After a couple of extensions, I completed my review forms and sent them via tracked delivery about exactly a month ago.

I take it, it's a no!
Hi all I called the DWP today for an update on a new pip claim. The guy told me a decision had been made yesterday, he couldn't tell me what, but a letter has gone out in the post.

Guide: How to make PIP contact you with email only - no letters, no calls, no face-to-face
I have just successfully got the DWP to promise that they will contact me by email only. That means no letters, no phonecalls, and no face-to-face assessments. If your disabilities mean that you can't take phonecalls or have any other difficulties with the communication PIP usually uses, email the address…

PIP review delayed - I think my award is too high
