10yr PIP review

merseylass

I was given 10yrs PIP full on both counts. I told I will have a review when I am 74 . Has anyone had the review? I am worrying already.
Thanks

No one has yet had a review that has a 10 year award because PIP wasn’t introduced until April 2013.

Unless your award is a light touch review then it will likely be a normal review.

I had a review in 2019 for PIP when I was 70. They eventually gave me Enhanced for both Care and Mobility for 10 years. Accordingly I will be 80 in 2029 so any review at that time will be a complete joke. I have decided that I will see out the rest of the future 6 years that are left and then tell them to do one with the review. There is no way that I am going to be able to go through all of that business at that age.

Yet you have no idea what that process will be at that time. No one knows yet because no one has been through it. Even more so for yourself being above state pension age.

Nobody knows, as poppy already said

No you are right but it is not that long ago that they were assessing that age group in the same way as those with 2/3 year awards aged in their 30's.

Personally I don't trust the DWP under any political party to not go back to the reassess, reassess situation.

It was at the time ridiculous to keep assessing OAP's but it certainly helped with the reduction of the welfare budget.
I'm also not on my own with the same views about refusing to renew when you are at, approaching or after age 80.
