    Your PIP will continue until a decision is made on your review. You can ring them to ask them to send you confirmation that your award has been extended. There's extremely long delays with review decisions so you could be waiting a considerable length of time.

    This is really helpful. 

    Poppy, didn’t you note Tara’s comments about renewing her blue badge/disabled person’s bus pass while waiting for while waiting for a decision? 

    Is there anyway to overcome this, as this must be common for a lot of people?

    Many thanks

    There's no other way, ringing PIP to ask them for proof that your award has been extended is the only way.
