edited March 2023 in PIP, DLA, and AA
I was awarded PIP at the enhanced rate from 14/10/2020 until 30/09/2023.

I received a review from that had to be returned by the 28/02/2023, my wife and I are both housebound, there was a delay in returning the form, they didn't receive it until 07/03/2023, will the delay returning affect my claim? 
*During this time there was a DWP strike, the address on the letter was one of the closed offices*

What is the average timeline from returning the review paperwork to getting a decision?
I am worried that I won't hear anything until after 30/09/2023.

    I got a text about 2 weeks after I sent my review form in....saying 'we have now received your form, you don't need to contact is etc'......I didn't here anything then for ages....but I kept the text message just in case

    If your payments stop because they received it late then you will need to contact them. There are huge backlogs so you could be waiting a considerable length of time. We have members here that are still waiting more than 1 year later. Your PIP will continue until a decision is made on your review. (even after the end date of your award)

    I was also notified via text, and likewise I will be keeping the text.
