PIP review

jimmydevil

Hi Everyone, 

I currently receive PIP. My award ends September 2024 so I am expecting my review papers to come through in the next month or so. 

Does anyone know...

Once the review docs arrive and I complete them ( my understanding is that I will have 4 weeks to do this) what sort of waiting time would I expect before anything else happens? What are the current wating times like for those of us who already receive PIP but are due a review?

Based on msny other threads here for reviews they are sending the forms around 8 months before your award is due to end. Some are receiving text messages to tell them that it's time for their review and to expect the forms in the post in the next couple of weeks but this is quite a new thing.

Timescales for reviews are exceptionally long for a lot of people so you could be waiting as long as a year, possibly longer. Another assessment is most likley because most people have them. They are mostly by telephone, some are face to face and video call.

When filling out the form please do not just put "no change" even if there's been no changes. You should treat it as a new claim and put as much relevant information as possible. 

Also include a couple of real world examples of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you. Include detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.

Make sure you put your name and NI number on everything you send.

If you need extra time to return them you can ring to ask and they will give you an extra 2 weeks.
