PIP review letter has just arrived...

Hello. I was told that my PIP had been extended until Feb 2024, but have just received a review letter (I get the impression this is happening to a lot of people).

Does anyone know - if they decide to lower or stop your PIP award, might you be asked to pay back any payments received during the review period? Or do you continue to get paid your current amount until your review is processed (which I know can take many months)? I'm worried I will be awarded less this time around and they might ask for money back. I did ask on the phone but she was unclear on the answer.

Thank you!

    Your PIP was extended for their purpose, this doens't mean you weren't still due a review so receiving the form now is correct.

    You will not have to repay anything back if your award is either reduced or stopped completely. Your current award will continue until a decision is made on your review.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
