PIP review-still not heard anything?

RVJ11

Hi, like the title says, I'm still waiting for a pip review- have been since January- have yet to hear anything about an assessment etc. Can't believe they'd drag things out this long- need to know if I'm still going to get to keep my pip. Nothing has changed since my last assessment but I'm terrified by some of the horror stories I hear. Why is it taking so $%^& long? Sorry for my tone but I'm very frustrated and losing hope

Nothing has change with regards to the very very long delays since you last asked the question. Unfortunately the delays have continued for quite sometime and some are waiting a whole year for just the assessment. Then you have the wait for the decision on top of that.

I know it's frustrating but there's nothing more you can do but wait. Your PIP award will continue until a decision is made on the review.

Hello RVJ11
I received the review forms in March 2022 and continued to receive my usual standard daily living allowance. Then, on Thursday, August 3rd, 2023, I received a text message from DWP confirming that my review application had been finalised. This process took 17 months in total, during which I unexpectedly underwent a paper-based assessment, resulting in an upgrade to an enhanced award for both daily living and mobility.

Hi, thanks for your responses. Looks like I'm still in for a bit of a wait then. Sorry to keep posting the same thing but I find it difficult constantly being in the dark about the whole thing.

If it's possible just put it to the back of your mind as literally there is nothing you can do to speed things up. I been waiting for a review since April and have done the same.

Instead I spend time on here learning as much as I can for when they do finally get round to it. There's so much reading and learning to do which is a welcome distraction. And it's always nice when a positive story comes up.

I'm currently waiting for my review. Forms were sent back in February.  They just text me every two months to remind me they've not forgotten about me.  So I'm just trying not to think about it.  They'll get around to me when they do.
