hello!! my name is Sharon [Removed by moderator - Personal Information]. I sent in my PIP renewal form in March 2023 and today I received a letter telling me that ive been awarded enhanced rate in both care and mobility. Phew!! such a relief!! im 64 yrs old and i was very concerned that this would affect my pension/attendance allowance. thankfully my future renewal date is January 2034 - not a typo, 2034!! if anyone else is in the same position, dont despair!! after nearly a years wait and a four hour telephone assessment, it was well worth all the anxiety !!
