    Not everyone of state pension age will be given a 10 year award. It's for those whose conditions are unlikely to change.

    Your current award was likely given before you reached state pension age so this time if you're awarded you maybe given a 10 year award. Full details here. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-pensioners-to-benefit-from-pip-assessment-overhaul

    Welcome to the community @lorraine236 :) I can see that poppy123456 has given you some information about this. Please do let us know if there's anything you're still unsure about.

    How are you feeling about the prospect of an assessment? I know they can be a bit daunting for many people.
