Has anyone had their review yet? .. I’m also wondering what happens to your benefit when your due for review. 
So for example my review for adp is due October 2024 (I know it’s a while away but I have adhd and I need to dysect every single detail and this is tearing me apart with worry) .. so I guess I get my forums out before that date, fill them in and send them back? .. but by seeing on other posts it’s taking 4-6 months for the review to be completed. So my question is what happens to your benefit in that time… do you keep receiving it or does it stop until a redetermination is made? 

I’m new to all of this and it’s just making me panic. Any advise would be great x

    Your payments will continue while your review is processed. I was transferred from PIP to ADP in September but had my review before I left, 20 months late! I believe ADP to be slightly more efficient 🥵 lol
    Good luck with it all, there are plenty of guides out there if you need them 😉

    20 months late, wow 😳 .. did they contact you to tell you it was late or why it was? … and were you still receiving payments in this time? .. I just get myself so worked up unnecessarily sometimes. I just wasn’t sure how it worked - if your review date comes and on that date your benefit stops, as if the review works as reapplying? .. it’s just all so unclear 🥲
