PIP review

zara1

Morning everyone. I was awarded pip Nov 2020 and review is due March 2024, On the forms it said ill be contacted sometime March this year but heard nothing yet,
Im aware there are delays, Are they still extending the claims

There are delays still with review decisions but you should still be sent review forms anytime from a year before your award is due to end. Whether there will still be large backlogs when your review is due I have no idea.

Yeah on the letter it says rewared from Nov 2020 till March 2024 with review,

i was recently awared LCWRA aswel,
Fingers crossed i get a review form soon, 

Will there be a resessment? as not much has changed apart from my meducation higher dose

When does your award actually end? A review will be another assessment. You will be sent review forms to fill in and return, which you should treat as a new claim, even if there’s been no changes.

You should expect another assessment because most people have them. They are mostly by phone but some are face to face or video call.

It ends March 2024

That means you should receive the review forms anytime from now. They have started to send text messages in the last couple of weeks to tell you that it’s time for your review and to expect the form within the next couple of weeks. Assuming they have a mobile contact number for you.

Over a year in quite a large amount of cases, payment continues in the meantime.

No, it hasn't shorted. It's been the same for a few years and some are waiting longer than 1 year for a decision. All you can do is continue to wait.
