Review form arrived🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, the posting has been done, and proof of postage of course😊 You have all been amazing and go above and beyond in helping, taking time out of your own daily routines to do so @chiarieds, Poppy, and @woodbine and @nasturtium 🤗
I have read somewhere and I believe it was @nasturtium, that if reviews go down, or not awarded, then it is up to PIP to give those reasons, so I shall keep that firmly in my mind.
I hope you all have a good day.

I will of course let you know how I get on, but could be in for a long wait I’m guessing!

Yes that's correct, providing you gave enough of information on the form you filled in. Those that decide to just put "no change" and nothing else do risk their current award ending.

Yes, you could be in for quite a long wait but some people have decisions quite quickly. Hopefully, you're one of those.

I have my review due soon too...

Hi Poppy. Yes, I put down information ✔️ My review actually was for May 2024, but I’d read on here that forms are given earlier. I was shocked or naive maybe in thinking I wouldn’t get forms until March of next year, that being closer to actual review date.

Good luck for yours.

Its very early days for the new "light touch" reviews.

Not the case it seems

Taken from a post on B&W 8 days ago

You do not need an assessment. You should just have to fill in the light touch review form which is much simpler and quicker than the normal form. Im not at that stage but i have downloaded the form to look at and it will probably take about 5-10 mins to fill in.

For a start whoever wrote that post is wrong in their first sentence.
There is no guarantee that an assessment will not happen even with a light touch application.

On page 5 of the AR2 it states: Although it is your responsibility to send supporting information, occasionally we may ask the main health professional who knows about your condition for information

With that comment does it refer/mean that the supporting information should include evidence of no change?

So the AR2 forms are already out there and being used. 

Would be good to hear what the results are especially if all the applicant has done is ticked the no change box and has not sent in any evidence to support the continuing of the award.
